Abstract

The aim of this work is to investigate and compare ferroelectrical properties of thin GeSbTe films with composition Ge$_{4}$Sb$_{1}$Te$_{5}$ (with well defined ferroelectrical properties) and Ge$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ using impedance, optical reflection, XRD, DSC and Piezoresponse Force Microscopy techniques. The temperature dependence of the capacitance in both materials shows an abrupt change at the temperature corresponding to ferroelectric-paraelectric transition and the Curie-Weiss dependence. In Ge$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ films this transition corresponds to the end from a NaCl-type to a hexagonal transformation. Piezoresponse Force Microscopy measurements found ferroelectric domains with dimension approximately equal to the dimension of grains.
