Abstract

Memristive switches are devices which modulate their resistance state depending on the history of the applied current and/or voltage, and have substantial technological potential and as well as scientific interest. In this paper, we review the current state of research on memristive systems. We review the many classes of memristive switching, their physical mechanisms, and their fabrication and operational modes. Next, we discuss the state of the art experimental and modeling/simulation techniques, and the physical insight afforded from these approaches. Finally, we discuss the applications and believed technological potential of these fascinating and exciting devices.
