Resistive memories based on the resistive switching effect have promising application in the ultimate nonvolatile data memory field. This brief review focuses on the resistive switching phenomena in the perovskite oxide heterostructures, which originate from the modulation of the interface properties due to the movement of the oxygen vacancies and the ferroelectric polarization. Many recent experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the role of the oxygen vacancies by controlling the content of the oxygen vacancies in the oxide heterostructures with plenty of oxygen vacancies. The important role of the ferroelectric polarization was also carefully confirmed by analyzing the relationship between the current–voltage and polarization–voltage loops in the ferroelectric oxide heterostructures. The physical mechanisms have been revealed based on the developed numerical model.

The excellent electro-mechanical properties of perovskite oxide ferroelectrics make these materials major piezoelectrics. Oxygen vacancies are believed to easily form, migrate, and strongly affect ferroelectric behavior and, consequently, the piezoelectric performance of these materials and devices based thereon. Mobile oxygen vacancies were proposed to explain high-temperature chemical reactions half a century ago. Today the chemistry-enabled concept of mobile oxygen vacancies has been extrapolated to arbitrary physical conditions and numerous effects and is widely accepted. Here, this popular concept is questioned. The concept is shown to conflict with our modern physical understanding of ferroelectrics. Basic electronic processes known from mature semiconductor physics are demonstrated to explain the key observations that are groundlessly ascribed to mobile oxygen vacancies. The concept of mobile oxygen vacancies is concluded to be misleading.

A persistent problem in elucidating the anatomy of the peripheral nervous system has been an inability to stain both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers. To overcome this problem, our laboratory developed two workmg protocols for reliably and differentially labeling and staining the peripheral nervous system and combined them with an enzyme clearing and staining procedure for the simultaneous visualization of bone and cartilage.One protocol uses anti-acetylated α-tubulin immunohistochemistry to follow the course, peripheral branching, and origin of the ventral spinal nerve innervating the axial musculature and a second uses anterograde and retrograde transport of selectively applied 3000 molecular weight (MW) biotin dextran amines and/or biocytin to identify specific afferent and efferent projections and their cell bodies. Both procedures can be combined with an enzyme clearing and staining procedure for the simultaneous visualization of bone (alizarin red S) and cartilage (alcian blue) in whole-mount preparations.

ABSTRACTPerovskite oxide Cd3TeO6 was electron-doped by the introduction of oxygen vacancies and substitution of trivalent cations, In3+, La3+ and Bi3+. Their electric properties were investigated and compared with that of undoped Cd3TeO6. Negative temperature dependence of resistivity was observed in undoped, air-sintered Cd3TeO6. The resis tivity of Cd3−xAxTeO6 (A = In3+, La3+ and Bi3+) showed a metallic behavior with very slight temperature dependence. Indium-doped samples gave a low resistivity, which were decreased by more than three orders of magnitudes than that of air-sintered, undoped Cd3TeO6. The negative Seebeck coefficient and Hall coefficient obtained from all samples indicate that electrons are the charge carriers. The absolute Seebeck coefficients values of doped samples are decreased by 5 ∼ 10 times than that observed in undoped Cd3TeO6. Fortunately, the resistivity of indium-doped samples is low enough to provide a good thermoelectric power factor, and the optimum value of Cd2.97In0.03TeO6 was calculated as 1.35×10−4 Wm−1K−2. This result is close to that of the current best n-type perovskite thermoelectric material Ba0.4Sr0.6PbO3.
