Optically triggered nonvolatile memory is demonstrated in an indium tin oxide (ITO)/BiFeO3 (BFO)/SrRuO3 (SRO) heterostructure. In contrast to conventional devices where optical excitations typically enhance conduction, the prepared device exhibits a pronounced decrease conductivity (1 × 10–4) after laser illumination at wavelengths of 405, 532, and 1064 nm. Also, negative optoelectronic could be reset using stimuli set electrical pulse. This characteristic was suppressed through annealing...
