Abstract:
The resistive switching effect of devices with metal-oxide-metal structure is a fascinating candidate for next generation nonvolatile memory devices. Here, self-assembled NiWO4 nano-nests on a Ti substrate were synthesized by a hydrothermal process. Moreover, a resistive switching memory device with Ag/NiWO4/Ti structure is demonstrated. The device shows an enhanced bipolar resistive switching effect under white-light illumination. This study is useful for exploring multifunctional materials and their applications in light-controlled nonvolatile memory devices.

MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...
