The Condensed Matter & Surface Sciences Colloquium Series presents Tomáš Wágner of University of Pardubice on “Chalcogenide Glass Films For Nanoscale Memories,” on Thursday, Oct. 29, at 4:10 p.m. in Walter 245.

Abstract: A range of material systems exist in which nanoscale ionic transport and redox reactions provide the essential for switching as platform for reconfigurable electronic devices and biological like computing. One class relies on mobile cations, which are easily created by electrochemical oxidation of the corresponding electrode metal, transported in the insulating layer, and reduced at the inert counter electrode. These devices are termed electrochemical metallization memories (EMC) or conductive bridge random access memories [1]. The material candidates for electrolytes in such devides have been recently studied. They are amorphous chalcogenides [2, 3]   and also oxides (SiO2, WO3, TiO2 and others [1]) containing metal elements (Ag, Cu) or their compounds (Ag2S, CuS) and gaining some portion of ionic conductivity and becoming mixed ionic-electronic conductors [3-8].

The aim of this work is to present our current results on syntesis and resistive switching of chalcogenide based nanowire array cells and planparalel cells.
