    No full text
    [[abstract]]Differently doped Ge-Sb-Te phase-change recording films were prepared by the individual dc magnetron sputtering of Sn5Ge3Sb72Te20, In5Ge3Sb72Te20, Ga5Ge3Sb72Te20 and Bi5Ge3Sb72Te20 targets. A close relationship was observed between surface roughness and reflectivity. The Ge-Sb-Te films doped with Bi showed the highest surface roughness and reflectivity. The phase-change optical disks with Bi-doped Ge-Sb-Te recording films showed the best overwriting characteristics. Therefore, the reversible recording properties of the phase-change optical disk were dominated by the composition of the recording film. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Bi-Ge-Sb-Sn-Te films for reversible phase-change optical recording

    [[abstract]]Bi-Ge-Sb-Sn-Te phase-change recording films (Films A-D) were prepared by the co-sputtering of Bi30Ge10Te60, Ge20Sb80, Sb and Sn targets. The composition of the recording films was controlled by the de power. The film composition, surface roughness and reflectivity were also closely related. Dynamic tests revealed that disks with Film C exhibited a low jitter value and a high modulation value after direct overwriting. Therefore, the composition of the recording film dominated the reversible recording properties of the phase-change optical disk. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Sb-substituted Nd2Fe17-xSbx and Sm2Fe17-xSbx materials were synthesized using a modified reduction-diffusion process with superfine Fe metal powder as starting material. Sb is a volatile element at high temperature and Sb-substituted intermetallic materials cannot be prepared using a conventional metallurgical method. The substitution of Sb in Nd2Fe17 and Sm2Fe17 enhances significantly the magnetic interaction between Fe atoms and improves their chemical stability, particularly for Sm2Fe17-related materials.
