摘要
We report a correlation between surface null potential and bistable resistive switching effect in dilutely Al-doped ZnO nearly transparent thin film. The nearly symmetrical bistable resistive switching was observed at low operating potential (+/- 1V) with good repeatability and stability, driven by surface null potential. We report that above null potential, oxygen vacancies in the proximity of aluminum provide systematic development of conducting paths. While, the switching effect was also observed to be dopant driven in the proximity to +/- 1V. The phenomenon was explained using migration of Al3+ in ZnO matrix, which dominates over oxygen vacancies. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
