The resistance relaxation in Au/SrTiO3/Au sandwiches with bipolar resistance switching has been investigated by the low frequency analysis. The power spectral density of the conducting current fluctuation in the high resistance state and the low resistance state shows 1/f behaviors. By contrast experiment, the low frequency noise for the high resistance state is ascribed to the Schottky barrier under reverse bias and the oxygen vacancy diffusion, while the noise in the low resistance state is due to the carriers fluctuation arising from the oxygen vacancy migration. The resistance relaxation can be further understood as the diffusion of oxygen vacancies under an electric field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
