Current-voltage characteristics in the insulator bordering superconductivity in disordered thin films exhibit current jumps of several orders of magnitude due to the development of a thermally bistable electronic state at very low…
Metallic oxides encased within Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structures can demonstrate both unipolar and bipolar switching mechanisms, rendering them the capability to exhibit a multitude of resistive states and ultimately function as memory…
For the successful implementation of organic electrochemical transistors in neuromorphic computing, bioelectronics, and real-time sensing applications it is essential to understand the factors that influence device switching times. Here we…
The proposed switching mechanism is based on an electronically-induced metal-insulator transition occurring in conditions of the excess non-equilibrium carrier density under the applied electric field. First, this mechanism is developed on…
In 1971 the memristor was originally postulated as a new non-linear circuit element relating the time integrals of current and voltage. More recently researchers at HPLabs have linked the theoretical memristor concept to resistance…
The memristive device is one of the basic elements of novel, brain-inspired, fast, and energy-efficient information processing systems in which there is no separation between memorization and information analysis functions. Since the first…
The peculiarities of electric current are studied occurring in semiconductors with strongly nonuniform distribution of charge carriers. The formation of such nonuniformities and the regulation of carrier mobilities can be realized by means…
Present models of the superconducting-to-normal transition in transition-edge sensors (TESs) do not describe the current distribution within a biased TES. This distribution is complicated by normal-metal features that are integral to TES…
We study switching current distributions in superconducting nanostrips using theoretical models and numerical simulations. Switching current distributions are commonly measured in experiments and may provide a window into the microscopic…
Transport current distribution in the branches of a doubly connected superconductor in the form of a thin-film high-inductance circuit with two bridges of different width in the branches was measured. For the transport current lower than…
The distribution of electric current on an electrode surface in electrolyte varies with time due to charge accumulation at a capacitive interface, as well as due to electrode kinetics and concentration polarization in the medium. Initially,…
The formation of a submicron optical cavity on one side of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunneling device induces a measurable electrical current between the two metal layers with no applied voltage. Reducing the cavity thickness increases…

Metal oxide resistive switches are increasingly important as possible artificial synapses in next generation neuromorphic networks. Nevertheless, there is still no codified set of tools for studying properties of the devices. To this end,…
This Letter uncovers five distinct charge transport modes and their transitions in dual-energy electron beam diodes. We via first-principle particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations establish that the specific mode (e.g., space charge…
The relaxations of conductivity after a temporary change of carrier density n_s during the waiting time t_w have been studied in a strongly disordered two-dimensional electron system in Si. At low enough n_s < n_g (n_g - the glass…
Electrical switching of N\'eel order in an antiferromagnetic insulator is desirable as a basis for memory applications. Unlike electrically-driven switching of ferromagnetic order via spin-orbit torques, electrical switching of…
Hybrid ionic-electronic conductors have the potential to generate memory effects and neuronal behavior. The functionality of these mixed materials depends on ion motion through thin polarizable channels. Here, we explore different…
Electroforming is used to initiate the memristive response in metal/oxide/metal devices by creating a filamentary conduction path in the oxide film. Here we use a simple photoresist-based detection technique to map the spatial distribution…
