Here, we report an optical absorption redshift map for GeTe-Sb2Te3 pseudo-binary alloys. We found that, with phase change from amorphous to crystalline, the observed redshift increases with Ge concentration along pseudo-line of compositions, which directly reflects the enhanced electron delocalizati...
