    摘要: A memristor with a switching layer that includes a composite of multiple phases is disclosed. The memristor comprises: a first electrode; a second electrode spaced from the first electrode; and a switching layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, the switching layer comprising the multi-phase composite system that comprises a first majority phase comprising a relatively insulating matrix of a switching material and a second minority phase comprising a relatively conducting material for forming at least one conducting channel in the switching layer during a fabrication process of the memristor. A method of making the memristor and a crossbar employing the memristor are also disclosed.

    摘要: Methods and means related to memory resistors are provided. A memristor includes at least two different active materials disposed between a pair of electrodes. The active materials are selected to exhibit respective and opposite changes in electrical resistance in response to changes in oxygen ion content. The active materials are subject to oxygen ion reconfiguration under the influence of an applied electric field. An electrical resistance of the memristor is thus adjustable by way of applied programming voltages and is non-volatile between programming events.
