Origin of resistance state relaxation and nonvolatile features in NiO films: Interfacial vs filamentary resistive switching

NiO films grown on Pt and Nb:SrTiO3 (NSTO) substrates display filament-type and interface-type resistance switching (RS), respectively. The resistance retention studies show that these two different RSs also lead to distinct resistance evolutions. For Pt/NiO/Pt, both high and low resistance states h...
