Herein, the bipolar resistive switching of Y 0.95 Sr 0.05 MnO 3 (YSMO) film grown on a Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition is reported. The mixed valent state of Mn ions with the presence of oxygen vacancies is confirmed by near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure. The temperature-dependent mobility and other switching parameters are extracted using Murgatroyd expression and a space charge-limited mechanism in the high-resistance state. The YSMO thin film shows better resistive switching as the switching layer (a layer close to a positively biased electrode) thickness decreases. The bipolar resistive switching of the film suggests a strong dependence on localized switching thickness and temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
