  • Abstract
    Adding In into Sb70Te30 recording film can improve the archival stability. However, initializing ability and recording sensitivity will be scarified, and ablation effect will be enhanced. Recording bits could only be smoothly switched between the amorphous and crystalline states with an adequate value of reduced activation energy
