“…Compared to variations in other properties, the effects of network rigidity and topological thresholds on the composition dependence of electrical switching voltages are more universal in nature. In several binary and ternary glassy systems such as Al-Te [10], Ge-Te [11], As-Te [12], Ge-As-Te [13], Al-Ge-Te [14], etc., which exhibit memory switching, the switching voltages are found to increase with the increase in network rigidity. This increase in threshold voltages/fields is expectable, as the reorganization of the glassy network, which is necessary for memory switching, becomes more difficult with increasing network rigidity.…”
