Abstract

Oxygen-rich polycrystalline NiOxfilms were prepared by means of magnetron sputtering. Thickness-dependent bipolar resistive switching behaviors revealed that the 20 nm-thick NiOxfilm presented a clockwise current-voltage loop, while the 60 nm-thick NiOxfilm achieved an anti-clockwise current-voltage loop. Redox reactions between penetrated Ag ions and drifted oxygen ions in the whole 20 nm-thick NiOxfilms resulted in the clockwise current-voltage loops. Filamentary conducting paths composed by oxygen vacancies were responsible for the anti-clockwise resistive switching loops of the 60 nm-thick NiOxfilm.
