New materials for memristive switching

Materials play a critical role in memristive devices and the research community is aggressively searching for the most applicable material systems for memristive switching. Two representative examples of newly developed switching materials are presented in this paper, including nitride memristors and Pt doped SiO

nanometallic memristors. The former represents nonoxide systems that might be more compatible with nitride electrodes preferred in a fab and the latter represents engineered materials that exhibit a better controllability over the formation of switching channel(s).
