Chalcogenide phase change materials (PCMs) are of great interest for both industrial applications and fundamental research, owing to their remarkable properties. The ultrafast switching capability between amorphous and crystalline state together with the pronounced property contrast between the two states has led to applications in optical data storage as well as electronic non-volatile memories. In this work, we investigate the fast crystallization process of Ag, In-doped Sb2Te (AIST) using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). We find a good match between the computed growth velocities and recent time-resolved reflectivity measurements at high temperature (550K-600K), while large deviations are present at lower temperature. We suggest that the large deviations are due to the different quenching rates and the high fragility of AIST in the supercooled phase. Besides, we identify the role of impurities (Ag/In) in the crystallization process of AIST at high temperature.
