A chalcogenide material with Ag/Ag5In5Sb60Te30/Ag structure was proposed as a memristor. Reproducible gradual resistance tuning in bipolar/unipolar modes was demonstrated. The resistance variation was tuned more precisely by controlling the polarity, the amplitude, the width, and the number of applied voltage pulses. The bipolar memristive switch was attributed to the coexistence of intrinsic space charge limited conduction and extrinsic electrochemical metallization effect. Moreover, the unipolar gradual resistance tuning reconfirmed the electrochemical metallization effect. The gradual resistance tuning characteristics will promote this memristor to potential application in mimicking biological plastic synapses.
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.
