  报告简介:

  Mobile electronics, the Internet, artificial intelligence, big data and high-performance computing are changing our lives rapidly and profoundly. They also pose, however, a major challenge on data storage and processing: the volume of digital information across the globe doubles every two years, set to reach 44 zettabytes (4.4 × 1010 terabytes) by 2020. A new generation of non-volatile memories that preserve data in the absence of power supply (much like hard disk drives), and at the same time are as fast as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), is currently being pursued to meet this challenge. Among the competing candidates, phase-change memories (PCMs) are the most mature technology [1, 2], and already start to serve as storage-class memories to boost the computing efficiency. In this talk, I will highlight the indispensable role of density functional theory (DFT) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in elucidating the crucial materials properties that enable the application of phase-change chalcogenides in novel memory devices [3-5]. The examples showing in this field could be instructive to other materials-science communities.
