Abstract

The author study conduction mechanism in two conducting states of a bistable device at 10-300 K range. They find that in the electrical bistable devices, electrical switching is associated with a change in the conduction mechanism. Device current in the low-conducting state follows an injection-limited mechanism. The current in the high-conducting state conforms a bulk-dominated mechanism, namely, space-charge limited conduction with an exponential distribution of traps. The bistability has an associated memory phenomenon. The devices exhibit read-only and random-access memory applications for several hours.
