Abstract: A magnetoresistive memory device includes a magnetic tunnel junction including a free layer, at least two tunneling dielectric barrier layers, and at least one metallic quantum well layer. The quantum well layer leads to the resonant electron tunneling through the magnetic tunnel junction in such a way that it strongly enhances the tunneling probability for one of the magnetization states of the free layer, while this tunneling probability remains much smaller in the opposite magnetization state of the free layer. The device can be configured in a spin transfer torque device configuration, a voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy, a voltage controlled exchange coupling device configuration, or a spin-orbit-torque device configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a bit line above a substrate, a word line above the substrate, and a non-volatile memory cell between the bit line and the word line. The non-volatile memory cell includes a reversible resistance-switching memory element coupled in series with an isolation element. The isolation element includes a first selector element coupled in series with a second selector element. The first selector element includes a first snapback current, and the second selector element includes a second snapback current lower than the first snapback current.

Abstract: A surge protection device contains a first electrode, a second electrode electrically connected to electrical ground, and a field-induced switching component electrically contacting the first electrode and the second electrode. The field-induced switching component can include a correlated-electron material or a volatile conductive bridge.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive memory cell includes a magnetoresistive layer stack containing a reference layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer. A ferroelectric material layer having two stable ferroelectric states is coupled to a strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer to alter a sign of magnetic exchange coupling between the strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer and the free layer. The strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer may be the reference layer or a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy layer that is located proximate to the ferroelectric material layer. The magnetoresistive memory cell may be configured as a three-terminal device or as a two-terminal device, and may be configured as a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) device or as a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) device.

Abstract: Resistive memory cells containing nanoparticles are formed between two electrodes. The nanoparticles may be embedded in a matrix or sintered together without a matrix. The memory cells may be projected memory cells or barrier modulated cells. Polymeric ligands may be used to deposit the nanoparticles over a substrate, followed by an optional removal or replacement of the polymeric ligands.
