Overview
- Analyses current technological boost in the use of phase change materials as solid state memory devices
- Uniquely describes basic material properties that characterize phase change materials from a theoretical and experimental perspective
- Features successful applications in optical data storage (their history, current status, and potential new generations of optical storage based on these materials), including current solid state memory and reconfigurable logic applications that are about to enter the market or are in the development phase
- First work in this field to offer a comprehensive overview of the properties of phase change materials with a focus on emerging technology applications
