- 요약Amorphous materials, despite lacking both long-range order and well defined reciprocal space, provide a fascinating medium by which to study fundamental condensed matter physics. Indeed, by virtue of their highly tunable disorder, they frequently provide insights into fundamental physics that crystals in many cases simply cannot. Among these phenomena are the glass transition and the existence of Two-Level Systems, which dominate the thermodynamics at low temperatures.This study begins with the design of an improved SiNx membrane based nanocalorimeter to enable accurate measurements of the heat capacity of thin-film samples. This new design allows for the use of multiple measurement techniques across many temperature and heating rate regimes, while previous designs typically focused on a single technique or regime. These designs were subsequently fabricated at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and underwent successful preliminary testing, showing comparable or superior performance to similar previous nanocalorimetry devices.The rest of this study explored the properties of a wide range of the Ge-Sb-Te ternary phase diagram, with growths done at many compositions and temperatures. The motivation for this lies in previous work done on amorphous silicon, which exhibited extremely unique low-temperature properties, but without a measurable glass transition. This family of materials was chosen for its highly variable fragility, as well as its prevalence as a phase-change material, guaranteeing a wide range of states with di!erent stabilities. Additionally, its lower glass transition temperature meant the glass transition could be measured using ultrafast calorimetry techniques. Characterization and measurement aimed to quantify the stability, both thermodynamic and kinetic, of the as-deposited film. This stability was then compared to that of the equivalent quenched film, which was cooled from the liquid to a glassy state. The goal was to correlate the high temperature thermodynamics to the low temperature properties unique to amorphous materials. Results found substantial differences in the as-deposited properties of the films with relatively small changes in composition and growth parameters. The changes in stability were expected, and show correlation with the low temperature properties. However, based on previous studies performed in amorphous silicon and organic glasses, the quantitative change in these low temperature properties was not as large as expected. Nonetheless, important new results regarding the effect of stability on both high and low temperature properties were shown in a previously unexplored class of materials.
