Abstract: Experiments on the archival-overwrite performance of GeSnSb phase-change discs are described. A mechanism explaining the poor archival-overwrite performance is proposed and it is found that this could be greatly improve by optimization of the phase-change material, based on reflectivity measurements and transmission electro microscopy (TEM) experiments.
