This study examined the electrical properties of Ti/MnO2/Pt devices with stable and reproducible bipolar resistive switching behavior. The dependency memory behavior on cell area operating temperature suggest that conducting mechanism in low resistance states is due to locally filaments formed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed nonlattice oxygen ions form at MnO2 surface. system involves generation recovery vacancies ions.
