For Ge2Sb2Te5, based on the intensity modulation of the reflections in electron diffraction patterns, the primitive unit cell can be determined. Figure 2759 shows a diffraction pattern with a period of 9 along the row with finely spaced reflections and a period of 3 perpendicular to that. Therefore, it was evaluated that the primitive unit cell is a trigonal unit cell with a = 0.425 and c = 1.727 nm.
