Resistive Switching and Current Conduction Mechanisms in Hexagonal Boron Nitride Threshold Memristors with Nickel Electrodes (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2024)

Advanced Functional Materials, vol. 34

Abstract

Hexagonal Boron Nitride In article number 2300428, Alwin Daus, Max C. Lemme, and co-workers explore hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) memristors for future computing. Based on temperature-dependent current-voltage analysis of Ni/h-BN/Ni threshold memristors, they suggest a bias stress-induced Ni-filament formation and self-rupture mechanism, in line with previous studies on h-BN memristors. In conclusion, a valuable method is presented that can be adopted to investigate the RS mechanism of 2D-materials-based memristors.
