Abstract
Four Ge~2~Sb~2~Te~5~ thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at 58, 100, 140, and 190βmJ/pulse laser energy, respectively. The influence of laser energy on the crystallization of Ge~2~Sb~2~Te~5~ was investigated. The result shows that laser energy has evident effect on the crystallization of Ge~2~Sb~2~Te~5~, including crystallization temperature, incubation time, Avrami coefficient, and grain size. The sample prepared at 140βmJ/pulse laser energy has the lowest crystallization temperature, the shortest incubation time, the largest Avrami coefficient, and the maximum mean grain size. The result of Xβray diffraction indicates that there are impurityβphase peaks in the pattern of the sample prepared at 190βmJ/pulse laser energy. A possible reason was given for these phenomenons.

A polycrystalline CuAlO 2 single-phase target was fabricated by the conventional solid-state reaction route using Cu 2 O and Al 2 O 3 . Thin films of CuAlO 2 were deposited by a pulsed laser deposition process on sapphire substrates at different temperatures. Then, post-annealing was followed at dif
