We demonstrate memory devices based on proton doping and re-distribution in perovskite nickelates (RNiO3, R = Sm,Nd) that undergo filling-controlled Mott transition. Switching speeds as high as 30 ns in two-terminal devices patterned by electron-beam lithography is observed. The state switching speed reported here are ∼ 300× greater than what has been noted with proton-driven resistance switching to date. The ionic-electronic correlated oxide memory devices also exhibit multi-state non-volatile switching. The results are of relevance to use of quantum materials in emerging memory and neuromorphic computing.
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.
