Abstract

Metal oxide resistive switches rely on the migration of oxygen vacancies and electrons under applied voltage. Here, Cho et al. use nanocomposites to control the electronic and ionic conductivities in spatially distinct channels, and fabricate memristors with high on/off ratios and reproducibility.
