<p>Disclosed is a switching element which comprises two electrodes and an organic bistable material intercalated between the electrodes, and which is expected to be applied to organic memory elements and others. Specifically disclosed is a switching element which has such a structure that an organic thin film containing metal microparticles is intercalated between two electrodes and exhibits such current bistability that two stable resistivities to a voltage applied appear. In the switching element, the metal microparticles are dispersed in the organic thin film by means of a metal microparticle dispersant, wherein the metal microparticle dispersant comprises a polymer containing an ammonium group and having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000,000.</p> |
