N2 - The disorder-to-order (crystallization) process in phase-change materials determines the speed and storage polymorphism of phase-change memory devices. Only by clarifying the fine-structure variation can the devices be insightfully designed, and encode and store information. As essentialphase-change parent materials, the crystallized Sb–Te binary system isgenerally considered to have the cationic/anionic site occupied by Sb/Teatoms. Here, direct atomic identification and simulation demonstrate that theultrafast crystallization speed of Sb–Te materials is due to the random nature of lattice site occupation by different classes of atoms with the resulting octahedral motifs having high similarity to the amorphous state. It is furtherproved that after atomic ordering with disordered chemical occupation,chemical ordering takes place, which results in different storage states with different resistance values. These new insights into the complicated route from disorder to order will play an essential role in designing neuromorphic devices with varying polymorphisms.
