TWO-TERMINAL METASTABLE MIXED-CONDUCTOR MEMRISTIVE DEVICES

Abstract:

Methods for setting a resistance include applying a voltage across a memristive device, that exceeds a threshold based on a difference in chemical potential between a first material and a second material, to change a resistance of the memristive device. The memristive device includes a barrier layer of the second material that is formed between two metastable layers of the first material.
