Abstract A hard breakdown phenomenon occurs in the TiN/WO X /Pt device owing to metallic nature of WO layer deposited by pulsed direct current (DC) sputtering. In particular, analog resistive switching (RS) is achieved as defect states naturally occurring TiON (oxygen vacancies region) between TiN and TiO 2 fluctuate based on polarity bias. Interestingly, TiN/TiO /WO displays gradual, bipolar, SET RESET operations during DC voltage sweep cycling without requiring an electroforming process....

Global plastic waste is increasing rapidly. In general, densely populated regions generate tons of daily, which sometimes disposed on land or diverged to sea. Most the plastics created in form have complex degradation behavior and are non-biodegradable by nature. These remain intact environment for a long time span potentially originate complications within terrestrial marine life ecosystems. The strategic management recycling can preserve environmental species associated costs. key...
