“…Several experimental works reported on the measurements of the bulk thermal conductivity of the prototypical GeSbTe phase change alloys [6][7][8][9] and the related binary compounds GeTe [10][11][12][13][14][15] and Sb 2 Te 3 [11,16]. These compounds have a relatively low lattice thermal conductivity in the crystalline phase which has been ascribed to a strong phonon scattering by disordered point defects.…”

“…In trigonal GeTe, vacancies in the Ge sublattice are responsible for the large spread of the measured thermal conductivity over the wide range of values 0.1-4.1 W m −1 K −1 [10][11][12][13][14][15]. The lattice thermal conductivity is very low (0.45 W m −1 K −1 ) [9] also in the hexagonal phase of Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST), the crystalline phase stable at normal conditions, in which the vacancy concentration is much lower than that of the cubic phase.…”

“…18,19 Bending of crystal planes is of course greatly facilitated if the bonding between adjacent planes is relatively weak, e.g., when dominated by van der Waals forces like in graphite. Ab initio electronic structure calculations have shown that rhombohedral Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 can indeed be considered as a layered structure with the presence of a weak bonding ͑low electron density͒ between the GeTe and TeSbTe layers.…”

“…The layered structure with many vacancies is beneficial to the low thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity. 13 The GST compounds are expected to exhibit good thermoelectric properties attributing to the massive constituent elements, relatively weak coupling between the layers and large unit-cell dimensions, which lead to strong scattering of phones. In the present study, GST films were annealed at various temperatures to investigate the effect of the structural changes on the thermoelectric properties.…”
