Resistive Change Elements Using Nanotube Fabrics Employing Break-Type Switching Sites

Two-terminal nanotube switching devices employing nanotube fabrics configured with breaks among the nanotube elements and methods of making such devices are disclosed. Breaks within the nanotube elements can be formed by applying a sufficiently high voltage or a sufficiently high electrical current...

Zusammenfassung:Two-terminal nanotube switching devices employing nanotube fabrics configured with breaks among the nanotube elements and methods of making such devices are disclosed. Breaks within the nanotube elements can be formed by applying a sufficiently high voltage or a sufficiently high electrical current through the nanotube fabric. These breaks within the individual nanotube elements realize switching sites within the fabric which provide uniform and controllable characteristics for the nanotube switching device.
