Abstract :
Presented is a novel memristive device based on a NiTi smart alloy. The proposed memristors are simple to implement on existing semiconductor processes and offer multi-time-scale volatility through geometry, alloy composition and chip temperature control. Multi-time-scale volatility is a key requirement for future biomimetic computer architectures.
