NANOPARTICLE ASSEMBLY-BASED SWITCHING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a switching device fabricated by using nanoparticles and a preparation method thereof. The present invention ensures the mass production of switching devices (e.g., memristor) by use of nanoparticles that exhibits reversible switching behavior at current of less than mA and at room temperature (25°C) ? 250°C in a more convenient and economical manner. Predictions of the high potential of memristors based on nanoparticle assemblies are supported by the tremendous versatility to tune the electrical behavior of nanoparticles by controlling their nanoscale characteristics such as size, composition, dimension, surface area, and chemical potential.
