Am I the only one who wonders how long until diffusion randomizes things in a 10 nanometer thick film? Obviously, error correction will be part of the system.

Obviously, error correction will be part of the system. It seems to me that there will always be a measurable raw error rate. It would be quite useful to have those raw and corrected error counts exposed in order to manage this new class of storage proactively.
I don't care if there are correctable errors, I just care if they suddenly increase, or change in nature.
- isoprophlex 3y agoI don't think you will see a lot of diffusion (or any kind of chemical degradation) in a 10 nm (100 angstroms, say ~100 layers of atoms) thick slab. Unless you bombard it with a molecular beam, but that'd be really weird and deliberate. Maybe you can get some light atoms (hydrogen) diffusing through it... but not displacing whatever is in their ceramic.
