28 Apr 2006TL;DR: In this article, a phase-change memory device with a first electrode having a contact area between it and the second electrode is described. The contact area extends into a recess of the first electrode to provide current density concentration.
Abstract: Phase-change memory devices include a phase-change material layer and a first electrode having a contact area therebetween. The contact area extends into a recess of the first electrode to provide current density concentration.

TL;DR: In this article, ball-on-flat fretting experiments were carried out between steel specimens under gross slip regime and a transition in the coefficient of friction was linked to a critical contact pressure.
