A resistance variable device and a method for using the same. The device includes a body formed of a voltage or current controlled resistance setable material, and at least two spaced electrodes on the body. The body includes a surface extending from one of the electrodes to the other of the electrodes. The surface has at least one surface striation extending from proximate the one electrode to proximate the other electrode at least when the body of said material is in a highest of selected resistance setable states. The method includes applying a first voltage between the one and the other electrodes to establish a negative and a positive electrode effective to form a conductive path formed of at least some material derived from the voltage or current controlled resistance setable material and on the surface along at least a portion of the at least one striation.
