Oxide-based valence-change memristors are promising nonvolatile memories for future electronics that operate on reactions to modulate their electrical resistance. The memristance is associated with the movement of oxygen ionic carriers through vacancies at high electric field strength via structural defect modifications still poorly understood. This study employs a Ce1–xGdxO2–y solid solution model probe role either set as "free" or "immobile and clustered" resistive switching performance....
Abstract Tuning of electronic density-of-states singularities is a common route to unconventional metal physics. Conceptually, van Hove are realized only in clean two-dimensional systems. Little attention has therefore been given the disordered (dirty) limit. Here, we provide magnetotransport study dirty metamagnetic system calcium-doped strontium ruthenate. Fermi liquid properties persist across transition, but with an unusually strong variation Kadowaki-Woods ratio. This revealed by...
The properties of functional oxide heterostructures are strongly influenced by the physics governing their interfaces. Modern deposition techniques allow us to accurately engineer interface through growth atomically precise heterostructures. This enables minute control over electronic, magnetic, and structural characteristics, which in turn allows for tuning can even lead emergence not present individual heterostructure components. Here, we investigate magnetic tailor-made superlattices...
Memristive devices are among the most prominent candidates for future computer memory storage and neuromorphic computing. Though promising, major hurdle their industrial fabrication is device-to-device cycle-to-cycle variability. These occur due to random nature of nanoionic conductive filaments, whose rupture formation govern device operation. Changes in filament location, shape, chemical composition cause This challenge tackled by spatially confining filaments with Ni nanoparticles....
Charge-transfer phenomena at heterointerfaces are a promising pathway to engineer functionalities absent in bulk materials but can also lead degraded properties ultrathin films. Mitigating such undesired effects with an interlayer reshapes the interface architecture, restricting its operability. Therefore, developing less-invasive methods control charge transfer will be beneficial. Here, appropriate top-interface design allows for remote manipulation of configuration buried and concurrent...
