Abstract

We fabricated and characterized the material with Mn (10 at.%: atomic percent) doped In₃Sb₁Te₂ (MIST) using co-sputtering and synchrotron radiation, respectively. The MIST thin film showed phase-changes at 97 and 320°C, with sheet resistances of ~10 kΩ_sq (amorphous), ~0.2 kΩ_sq (first phase-change), and ~10_sq (second phase-change). MIST did not exhibit any chemical separation or increased structural instability during either phase-change, as determined with high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Chemical state changes were only depended for In without concomitant changes of Sb and Te. Apparently, doped Mn atoms can be induced with movement of only In atoms.
