The memristor and the scientific method

چکیده
In 1971 a “missing memristor” was proposed by a circuit theorist named Leon Chua as a 4 fundamental passive circuit element defined by a non-linear relationship between electric charge and magnetic flux linkage. In 2008 a research group from Hewlett-Packard led by Stan Williams claimed credit for finding this “missing memristor” based on the observation of a zero-crossing hysteresis effect. I recently proved that the zero-crossing hysteresis effect can be produced by dynamic systems other than the memristor or more generalized memristive systems. In light of this development I address several public comments made by Stan Williams regarding the history of the memristor. Keywordsscientific method, memristor, RRAM, ReRAM

The Effect of DTMOS Transistors on the Performance of a Memristor-based Ternary CAM Cell in Low Power Applications
This paper proposes the use of DTMOS transistors in a memristor-based ternary CAM (MTCAM) instead of MOSFET transistors. It also evaluates the effect of forward body biasing methods in DTMOS transistors on the performance of a MTCAM cell in write mode. These biasing methods are gate-to-body tying (called DT1), drain-to-body tying (called DT2), and gate-to-body tying with a voltage supply of 0.1...
متن کاملMemristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell
Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...

Original scientific paper Memristors will surely have application in secondary lightning protection as well. This paper proposes a combined over-voltage protecting device consisting of a memristor connected in series with a spark gap. Operation of this combined device has been simulated with circuit simulation software on a model proposed in this paper. The memristor is applied for dissipating ...
متن کاملVoltage divider effect for the improvement of variability and endurance of TaO(x) memristor.
The impact of a series resistor (R(S)) on the variability and endurance performance of memristor was studied in the TaO(x) memristive system. A dynamic voltage divider between the R(S) and memristor during both the set and the reset switching cycles can suppress the inherent irregularity of the voltage dropped on the memristor, resulting in a greatly reduced switching variability. By selecting ...
