Abstract
Stearic acid (CH3-CH216-COOH) films were deposited by thermal evaporation under vacuum. Thin-film capacitors were formed as aluminium-stearic acid-aluminium/gold structures. These devices exhibited dielectric memory switching between two stable states. This effect is analysed and discussed.
