Abstract

Resistive switching properties of stiver nanoparticles hosted in an insulating polymer matrix (poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) are reported. Planar devices structures using interdigitated gold electrodes were fabricated These devices have on/off resistance ratio as high as 10 3, retention times reaching to months and good endurance cycles. Temperature-dependent measurements show mat the charge transport is weakly thermal activated (73 meV) for both states suggesting that nanoparticles will not aggregate into a metallic filament.
