Electric-field-induced submicrosecond resistive switching
Electric-field-induced resistive switching in metal-oxide interfaces has attracted extensive recent interest. While many agree that lattice defects play a key role, details of the physical processes are far from clear. There is debate, for example, regarding whether the electromigration of pre-existing point defects or the field-created larger lattice defects dominates the switch. We investigat...
متن کاملMinimum voltage for threshold switching in nanoscale phase-change memory.
The size scaling of the threshold voltage required for the amorphous-to-crystalline transition in phase-change memory (PCM) is investigated using planar devices incorporating individual GeTe and Sb2Te3 nanowires. We show that the scaling law governing threshold switching changes from constant field to constant voltage scaling as the amorphous domain length falls below 10 nm. This crossover is a...
متن کاملRole of phase change materials in creating uniform surface temperature on a lithium battery cell applicable in electric vehicles
With respect to the limitations of fossil energy resources, different types of electric vehicles (EVs) are developed as suitable alternatives. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells play an extremely important role in EVs due to their unique features. But they need a thermal management system (TMS) to maintain their surface temperature uniformity and avoid them from thermal runaways. In the current...
متن کاملPicosecond electric field pulse induced coherent magnetic switching in MgO/FePt/Pt(001)-based tunnel junctions: a multiscale study
Combined methods of first-principles calculations and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) macrospin simulations are performed to investigate the coherent magnetization switching in the MgO/FePt/Pt(001)-based magnetic tunnel junctions triggered by short pulses of electric field through the control of magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) electrically. First-principles calculations indicate that the MAE of ...
متن کاملGiant electric-field-induced strain in lead-free piezoelectric materials
First-principles calculations are performed to investigate the structures, electrical, and magnetic properties of compressive BiFeO3 films under electric-field and pressure perpendicular to the films. A reversible electric-field-induced strain up 10% is achieved in the compressive BiFeO3 films. The giant strain originates from rhombohedral-tetragonal (R-T) phase transition under electric-filed,...
