Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-41859-x, published online 29 March 2019

The original version of this Article contained an error in the title and Introduction of the paper where “Ge2Sb2Te5” was incorrectly given as “Ge2Se2Te5”.

As a result, in the Introduction,

“Among them, the chalcogenide compound Ge2Se2Te5 (GST) which has remarkable fast switching speed (nanosecond or less)42, high switching robustness (potentially up to 1015 cycles)43, is one of the most prevalent phase change materials.”

now reads,

“Among them, the chalcogenide compound Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) which has remarkable fast switching speed (nanosecond or less)42, high switching robustness (potentially up to 1015 cycles)43, is one of the most prevalent phase change materials.”

These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
