Abstract

Vanadium dioxide is currently considered as one of the most promising metarials for oxide elcteronics. Both planar and sandwich thin-film MOM devices based on VO2 exhibit electrical switching with an S-shaped I-V characteristic, and this switching effect is associated with the metal-insulator transition (MIT). In an electrical circuit containing such a switching device, relaxation oscillations are observed if the load line intersects the I-V curve at a unique point in NDR region. All these effects are potentially prospective for designing various devices of oxide electronics, particularly, elements of dynamical neural networks based on coupled oscillators.

    • link: http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2017/01/26/electricity-not-heat-fl... I wish they included some more numbers. The paper is paywalled: http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2017/01/26/electricity-not-heat-fl... I think Fig 1 on page 3 applies: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.06246.pdf so it's…
