The prediction made by L. O. Chua 45+ years ago (see: IEEE Trans. Circuit Theory (1971) 18:507-519 and also: Proc. IEEE (2012) 100:1920-1927) about the existence of a passive circuit element (called memristor) that links the charge and flux…
It has been suggested that all resistive-switching memory cells are memristors. The latter are hypothetical, ideal devices whose resistance, as originally formulated, depends only on the net charge that traverses them. Recently, an…
