Introduction: Intrinsic resistive switching properties of Pt/TiO2-x/TiO2/Pt crossbar memory array has been examined using the crossbar (4×4) arrays fabricated by using DC/RF sputtering under specific conditions at room temperature. Materials and Methods: The growth of filament is envisaged from bottom electrode (BE) towards the top electrode (TE) by forming conducting nano-filaments across TiO2/TiO2-x bilayer stack. Non-linear pinched hysteresis curve (a signature of memristor) is evident from I-V plot measured using Pt/TiO2-x /TiO2/Pt bilayer device (a single cell amongst the 4×4 array is used). It is found that the observed I-V profile shows two distinguishable regions of switching symmetrically in both SET and RESET cycle. Distinguishable potential profiles are evident from I-V curve; in which region-1 relates to the electroformation prior to switching and region-2 shows the switching to ON state (LRS). It is observed that upon reversing the polarity, bipolar switching (set and reset) is evident from the facile symmetric pinched hysteresis profile. Obtaining such a facile switching is attributed to the desired composition of Titania layers i.e. the rutile TiO2 (stoichiometric) as the first layer obtained via controlled post annealing (650oC/1h) process onto which TiO2-x (anatase) is formed (350oC/1h). Results: These controlled processes adapted during the fabrication step help manipulate the desired potential barrier between metal (Pt) and TiO2 interface. Interestingly, this controlled process variation is found to be crucial for measuring the switching characteristics expected in Titania based memristor. In order to ensure the formation of rutile and anatase phases, XPS, XRD and HRSEM analyses have been carried out. Conclusion: Finally, the reliability of bilayer memristive structure is investigated by monitoring the retention (104 s) and endurance tests which ensured the reproducibility over 10,000 cycles.

Thin films of ZnWO4, a promising photocatalytic and scintillator material, were deposited for the first time using a reactive dual magnetron sputtering procedure. A ZnO target was operated using an RF signal, and a W target was operated using a DC signal. The power on the ZnO target was changed so that it would match the sputtering rate of the W target operated at 25 W. The effects of the process parameters were characterized using optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that stoichiometric microcrystalline ZnWO4 thin films could be obtained, by operating the ZnO target during the sputtering procedure at a power of 55 W and by post-annealing the resulting thin films for at least 10 h at 600 °C. As FTO coated glass substrates were used, annealing led as well to the incorporation of Na, resulting in n+ doped ZnWO4 thin films.

La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 (0.2LSCO) thin films were prepared via the RF sputtering method to fabricate thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs), and post-annealing processes were employed to optimize their properties to sense high temperatures. The XRD patterns of the 0.2LSCO thin films showed a pure phase, and their crystallinities increased with the post-annealing temperature from 800 °C to 1000 °C, while some impurity phases of Cr2O3 and SrCr2O7 were observed above 1000 °C. The surface images indicated that the grain size increased first and then decreased, and the maximum size was 0.71 μm at 1100 °C. The cross-sectional images showed that the thickness of the 0.2LSCO thin films decreased significantly above 1000 °C, which was mainly due to the evaporation of Sr2+ and Cr3+. At the same time, the maximum conductivity was achieved for the film annealed at 1000 °C, which was 6.25 × 10−2 S/cm. When the thin films post-annealed at different temperatures were coupled with Pt reference electrodes to form TFTCs, the trend of output voltage to first increase and then decrease was observed, and the maximum average Seebeck coefficient of 167.8 µV/°C was obtained for the 0.2LSCO thin film post-annealed at 1100 °C. Through post-annealing optimization, the best post-annealing temperature was 1000 °C, which made the 0.2LSCO thin film more stable to monitor the temperatures of turbine engines for a long period of time.
