We stabilize resistance of melt-quenched amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (a-GST) phase change memory (PCM) line cells by substantially accelerating resistance drift and bringing it to a stop within a few minutes with application of high electric field…
We characterized resistance drift in phase change memory devices in the 80 K to 300 K temperature range by performing measurements on 20 nm thick, ~70-100 nm wide lateral Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) line cells. The cells were amorphized using 1.5-2.5 V…
Resistance drift in phase change materials is characterized in amorphous phase change memory line-cells from 300 K to 125 K range and is observed to follow the previously reported power-law behavior with drift coefficients in the 0.07 to…
We electrically characterized melt-quenched amorphized Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) phase-change memory cells of 20 nm thickness, ~66-124 nm width and ~100-600 nm length with and without photoexcitation in 80-275 K temperature range. The cells show…
We performed a computational analysis on percolation transport and filament formation in amorphous $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (a-GST) using 2D finite-element multi-physics simulations with 2 nm out-of-plane depth using an electric-field and temperature…
We model electrical conductivity in metastable amorphous $Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}$ using independent contributions from temperature and electric field to simulate phase change memory devices and Ovonic threshold switches. 3D, 2D-rotational, and…
In this work, we have studied the effects from increasing the strength of the applied electric field on the charge transport of hydrogenated graphitic fibers. Resistivity measurements were carried out for direct currents in the nA - mA…
Resistivity of metastable amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) measured at device level show an exponential decline with temperature matching with the steady-state thin-film resistivity measured at 858 K (melting temperature). This suggests that the…
We report observation of electric-field-driven resistive transition at a characteristic threshold field $E_{th}(T)$ across a temperature range 10-200 K in an off-stoichiometric composite of (~80 vol%) W- and (~20 vol%) Z-type hexaferrites.…
Time-dependent drift of resistance and threshold voltage in phase change memory (PCM) devices is of concern as it leads to data loss. Electrical drift in amorphous chalcogenides has been argued to be either due to electronic or stress…
We study the intrinsic transport properties of suspended graphene devices at high fields (>1 V/um) and high temperatures (>1000 K). Across 15 samples, we find peak (average) saturation velocity of 3.6x10^7 cm/s (1.7x10^7 cm/s), and peak…
Electrical conductivity, thermopower and magnetic properties of Fe-intercalated Fe0.33VSe2 has been reported between 4.2K - 300K. We observe a first order transition in the resistivity of the sintered pellets around 160K on cooling. The…
We employed ab-initio molecular dynamics to directly simulate the effects of Ag alloying ($\sim5%$ Ag concentration) on the phase change properties of Ge$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$. The short range order is preserved, whereas a slight…
We present thermodynamic crystallization and melting models and calculate phase change velocities in $Ge_2 Sb_2 Te_5$ based on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The calculated phase change velocities are strong functions of grain size,…
The behaviors of resistance, magnetoresistance (up to 5 T), and Hall electromotive force (EMF) with varying temperature (from 10 to 300 K) and measuring current (from 10 mkA to 10 mA) are studied for the Si sample with CrSi2…
Chalcogenide phase change materials enable non-volatile, low-latency storage-class memory. They are also being explored for new forms of computing such as neuromorphic and in-memory computing. A key challenge, however, is the temporal drift…
In this work, we investigate the behavior of Al2O3/TiO2-x cross-point memristors in cryogenic environment. We report successful resistive switching of memristor devices from 300 K down to 1.5 K. The I-V curves exhibit negative differential…
The influence of electric felds and currents has been investigated in the high-$T_c$ superconductors $YBaCuO$ and $BiSrCaCuO$ using a point-contact geometry with $Ag$ as the counterelectrode, which reveal switching transitions between…
We performed a measurement of the ionization response of 200 $\mu$m-thick amorphous selenium (aSe) layers under drift electric fields of up to 50 V/$\mu$m. The aSe target was exposed to ionizing radiation from a $^{57}$Co radioactive source…
We found that the current-voltage characteristics of the single-layer graphene field-effect transistors exhibit an intriguing feature - an abrupt change of the current near zero gate bias at elevated temperatures T > 500 K. The strength of…
