الوصف: The structure of amorphous Cu$_2$GeTe$_3$ is investigated by a combination of anomalous x-ray scattering and extended x-ray absorption fine structure experiments. The experimental data are analyzed with a reverse Monte Carlo modeling procedure, and interpreted in terms of the short- and intermediate-range order. Based on this information, a model for the phase transition in Cu$_2$GeTe$_3$ is proposed, in which atoms move toward the center of the 6-fold rings of the crystal structure, leading to the formation of wrong bonds and a broader distribution of ring structures, but also preserving some structural motifs of the crystal.
