Origin of multistate resistive switching in Ti/manganite/SiOx/Si heterostructures

We report on the growth and characterization of Ti/La1/3Ca3/2MnO3/SiO2/n-Si memristive devices. We demonstrate that using current as electrical stimulus unveils an intermediate resistance state, in addition to the usual high and low resistance states that are observed in the standard voltage control...
