“…In order to strengthen the properties of GST thin films, various elements from p-block and d-block were doped in GST. The incorporation of transition metal (TM) elements (W, 42,43 Cu, 44,45 Ti, 46–49 Zn, 50 Cr, 51 Ag, 18,39,52–55 Ru, 56 and Ni 57 ) and p-block elements (Se, 58 As, 59 Sn, 41,60 N, 61–67 C, 68–70 Ge, 71 Al, 72,73 O, 66,74,75 In, 76–78 Ga, 79 Sb, 80–84 and Si 85–90 ) into the GST host matrix is reported to significantly tailor its properties which can find applications in various technological applications.…”
