Transition between bipolar and abnormal bipolar resistive switching in amorphous oxides with a mobility edge

Abstract Resistive switching is an important phenomenon for future memory devices such as resistance random access memories or neuronal networks. While there are different types of resistive switching, such as filament or interface switching, this work focuses on bulk switching in amorphous, binary...

description Abstract Resistive switching is an important phenomenon for future memory devices such as resistance random access memories or neuronal networks. While there are different types of resistive switching, such as filament or interface switching, this work focuses on bulk switching in amorphous, binary oxides. Bulk switching was found experimentally in different oxides, for example in amorphous gallium oxide. The forms of the observed current–voltage curves differ, however, fundamentally. Even within the same material, both abnormal bipolar and normal bipolar resistive switching were found. Here, we use a new drift–diffusion model to theoretically investigate bulk switching in amorphous oxides where the electronic conductivity can be described by Mott’s concept of a mobility edge.
