For organic memristors, non-zero-crossing current-voltage (I-V) curves are often observed, which can be attributed to capacitive effects. If the conversion between capacitance-dominated state (CDS) and memristance-dominated (MDS) realized in a controllable manner, more device functions obtained. In this work, two-terminal memristor using common dye, azobenzene (AZB), as active layer was prepared. It is found that applied voltage gradually increases, transition from CDS MDS. low range (<1 V),...
