Variable conductivity of nanocomposite nickel oxide/porous silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuous-state variable conductivity of nickel oxide/porous silicon nanocomposite thin films indicative of memristance is reported and a mathematical model for the observed behavior is proposed. The variable conductivity phenomena observed are shown to depend on the composition of the films. A generalized composite material conductivity model that explains the time-varying, field-dependent conductivity modulation is developed based on ionic defect migration in the metal oxide nanocrystallites. The model shows excellent agreement with experimental data and allows for estimation of ionic defect mobilities. Multicycle nonvolatility in the devices is shown to be on the order of 1000 s. The tunable conductivity of the nanocomposite is potentially useful in the fabrication of large-scale or high-power analog circuit elements such as memristors, and provides insights into ionic defect migration properties in nanocomposite materials.

Magnetic Nanoparticles Embedded in a Silicon Matrix
This paper represents a short overview of nanocomposites consisting of magnetic nanoparticles incorporated into the pores of a porous silicon matrix by two different methods. On the one hand, nickel is electrochemically deposited whereas the nanoparticles are precipitated on the pore walls. The size of these particles is between 2 and 6 nm. These particles cover the pore walls and form a tube-l...

In the organic field effect transistors (OFETs) generation, the silicon gate oxide is 1-2 nm thick. A shrinking of this thickness down to less than 1 nm for the next generation will led to a couple of orders of magnitude increase in tunnelling as well as leakage currents. NiO-SiO2 can be used in a variety of devices, such as in circuit boards and detectors, including sensors, due to its porous ...
