Abstract :
An original circuit-level model of two-terminal vanadium dioxide electron devices exhibiting electronic hysteresis is presented. Such devices allow realisation of very compact relaxation nano-oscillators that potentially can be used in bio-inspired neurocomputing. The proposed model is exploited to determine the parameters, values that ensure stable periodic oscillations.
