          Abstract

          En este trabajo se desarrolló un nuevo material para capa activa en Memorias Ópticas Reversibles (MOR), el cual permite grabar información utilizando tres o cuatro niveles de reflectividad en cada punto. Este nuevo material esta basado en Ge1Sb2Te4 dopadas con oxigeno. La técnica de difracción de rayos X muestran que para películas con porcentajes de oxigeno de entre 2 y 8% at. de oxigeno presente en la muestra y cristalizadas a 110° C, la fase cristalina corresponde a la composición estequiometrica de Ge1Sb2Te4. Sin embargo para películas con una concentración de oxigeno mayor al 10% at., la fase cristalina corresponde a Sb2Te3. Se investigaron las propiedades ópticas (reflectancia) de películas de Ge1Sb2Te4 dopadas con oxigeno, comprobando que la segregación de fase en películas con más del 10% de oxigeno, da como resultado un incremento en los tiempos de nucleación y en los tiempos de cristalización inducida por láser, permitiendo la posibilidad de tener un grabado multinivel es decir memorias ópticas con código ternario o cuaternario en lugar de las binarias que tradicionalmente se han utilizado.

          Translated abstract

          In this work it was developed a new material for an active layer in Reversible Optical Memories (ROM), which lets information record, using three or four levels of reflectivity at each point. This new material is based on Ge1Sb2Te4 doped with oxygen. The X-ray Diffraction technique show that, for films with oxygen percentages between 2 and 8% at. in the sample and crystallized at 110° C, the crystal phase corresponds to the stoichiometric composition of Ge1Sb2Te4. However, for films with an oxygen concentration greater than 10% at., the crystal phase corresponds to Sb2Te3. The optical properties (reflectance) of Ge1Sb2Te4 films doped with oxygen were investigated, noting that the segregation of phase in films with more than 10 percent of oxygen, results in an increase in the nucleation times and in the crystallization times induced by laser, allowing the possibility of having a multilevel record i.e. memories with optical ternary or quaternary code, in place of the binary code that traditionally has been used.

          Configurational entropy of Wigner crystals

          We present a theoretical study of classical Wigner crystals in two- and three-dimensional isotropic parabolic traps aiming at understanding and quantifying the configurational uncertainty due to the presence of multiple stable configurations. Strongly interacting systems of classical charged particles confined in traps are known to form regular structures. The number of distinct arrangements grows very rapidly with the number of particles, many of these arrangements have quite low occurrence probabilities and often the lowest-energy structure is not the most probable one. We perform numerical simulations on systems containing up to 100 particles interacting through Coulomb and Yukawa forces, and show that the total number of metastable configurations is not a well defined and representative quantity. Instead, we propose to rely on the configurational entropy as a robust and objective measure of uncertainty. The configurational entropy can be understood as the logarithm of the effective number of states; it is insensitive to the presence of overlooked low-probability states and can be reliably determined even within a limited time of a simulation or an experiment.

            Erasable Phase-Change Optical Materials

            Almost all stones on a lane will become glassy if they are melted and quenched. They will become transparent and quite different in appearance from before vitrification. This visible change constitutes the recording of information. We might refer to the stone as “1 bit.” If the vitrified stone is subsequently kept at a high temperature under its melting point, it will lose its transparency and turn back to the appearance it had before melting and quenching. Thus the “1 bit” is erased. This is the simple mechanism of an erasable phase-change optical memory. In practical systems, a laser beam focused into a diffraction-limited spot is used for recording. This enables the spatial size of the “1 bit” to be very small (of submicron order) so that the recording density is very high.
