Abstract :
Antiparallel resistive switches exhibit - characteristics of various types, depending on the properties of individual switches and applied compliance-current levels. When one switch is on and the other is off, an application of voltage of opposite polarity may lead to the following: 1) rupture of the first switch followed by a bridge formation in the second bridge or 2) a voltage window in which both bridges are connected. The - characteristics of the first scenario yield - curves that show opposite behavior to the complementary resistive switches and resemble a “truncated” Ohm´s law.
