Superlattices are periodic arrangements of two or more different materials on a nanoscale. Ge-Sb-Te (Germanium-Antimony-Tellurium) superlattices are a type of material used in phase-change memory (PCM) technology. PCM is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the reversible phase transition between amorphous and crystalline states in certain materials. This phase-change property, combined with the non-volatile nature of the material, makes it suitable for applications like phase-change memory in electronic devices. Topological and entropy indices are the mathematical tools that are helpful to estimate the physico-chemical characteristics of chemical compounds. In this article, we have calculated some reduced reverse degree-based topological indices and entropy indices for Ge-Sb-Te superlattice. Ravi et al. [32] examined the statistically significant relationship of reduced reverse degree-based topological indices with physico-chemical characteristics of drug structures and proposed regression models using entropy indices. In this context, our computed results can be helpful in predicting the physico-chemical characteristics of Ge-Sb-Te superlattices.
