Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201400127-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Getting a grip on the switching mechanism in nanoionic resistive memories:</bold> the bipolar electrochemical mechanism for mass transfer of Ag in nanoscale SiO₂ is disclosed. The in‐situ atomic‐level experiments provide detailed evidence of the mass‐transfer process under external electric fields. The mass transfer of Ag directly leads to conductive filament formation and disruption, which is responsible for the switching mechanism in nanoionic resistive memories. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghh50hn08" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
