  • Abstract
    The anomalous behaviour of chalcogenide-glass switches, in the thin-film limit, is incorporated into the electrothermal switching model by taking account of both temperature and field dependences of the electrical conductivity. Calculations of the critical field as a function of temperature and thickness are compared with experimental observations.
