For example, resistance switching in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been demonstrated. This mechanism is most of the time attributed to the movement of metallic ions. It has however also been reported when h-BN is contacted with two inert electrodes such as graphene or Pt. We suggest here that the switching mechanism of the latter devices, which has not yet been clearly established, relies on locals change of the electronic structure of h-BN as caused by atomic defects, e.g., multi-vacancies. This class of intrinsic h-BN defects can create electrically controllable interlayer bridges. We use a combination of hybrid density functional theory and the Non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism to show that a single interlayer bridge resulting from the presence of a trivacancy in a graphene/h-BN/graphene stack leads to a switching voltage of ~5 V and a high-to-low resistance ratio >100. Both values lie within the reported experimental range and thus confirm the likelihood that intrinsic defects play a key role in the resistance switching of h-BN in contact with inert electrodes.

Here we provide an insight into the microscopic processes taking place during the formation of graphene nanogaps through the detailed analysis of their low-frequency noise properties. Following the evolution of the noise level, we identify the fundamentally different regimes throughout the nanogap formation. By modeling the resistance and bias dependence of the noise, we resolve the major noise-generating processes: atomic-scale junction-width fluctuations in the nanojunction regime and sub-atomic gap-size fluctuations in the nanogap regime. As a milestone toward graphene-based atomic electronics, our results facilitate the automation of an optimized electrical breakdown protocol for high-yield graphene nanogap fabrication.

Moreover, they exhibit high operation speed at low power arising from the ease of the electric-field-driven redistribution of only a small amount of highly mobile ionic species upon resistive switching. We investigate the memristive behavior of a so-far less explored representative of this class, the Ag/AgI material system in a point contact arrangement established by the conducting PtIr tip of a scanning probe microscope. We demonstrate stable resistive switching duty cycles and investigate the dynamical aspects of non-volatile operation in detail. The high-speed switching capabilities are explored by a custom-designed microwave setup that enables time-resolved studies of subsequent set and reset transitions upon biasing the Ag/AgI/PtIr nanojunctions with sub-nanosecond voltage pulses. Our results demonstrate the potential of Ag-based filamentary memristive nanodevices to serve as the hardware elements in high-speed neuromorphic circuits.
