Abstract :
Reversible resistance change at room temperature by polarisation switching is reported in ferroelectric single crystals. Resistance switching up to six orders of magnitude in Mg-doped LiNbO3 was found. The resistance change is caused by the polarisation switching and increases with Mg concentration. Based on these results, continuous switching properties and memory behaviours were demonstrated.
