Abstract

Ag/NiO/Pt structures did (did not) exhibit reproducible resistive switching when a positive bias was applied to the Pt (Ag) electrode. X-ray photoemission spectra revealed that ultrathin NiO films on Pt (Ag) layers did (did not) undergo reversible chemical state change during heat treatment in a vacuum and oxygen ambient. Such differences in interfacial chemical interaction may affect filament formation and rupture processes near the electrode and hence alter the resistive switching behaviors.
