Abstract :
Repetitive cyclical surface switching in thin polycrystalline films of NiO(Li) has been observed and is compared to a switching through the film. Characteristic switching parameters, such as the threshold field, turn-on and turn-off times are found to be the same in both cases. However, the lifetime of the switching devices is ∼103switching cycles longer for the surface-electrode configuration, which is partly attributable to an improved heat exchange with substrate.
