The operation of oxide-based memristive devices relies on the fast accumulation and depletion of oxygen vacancies by an electric field close to the metal-oxide interface. Here, we show that the reversible change of the local concentration of oxygen vacancies at this interface also produces a change in the thermal boundary resistance (TBR), i.e., a thermal resistive switching effect. We used frequency domain thermoreflectance to monitor the interfacial metal-oxide TBR in (Pt,Cr)/SrTiO devices, showing a change of ≈20% under usual SET/RESET operation voltages, depending on the structure of the device. Time-dependent thermal relaxation experiments suggest ionic rearrangement along the whole area of the metal/oxide interface, apart from the ionic filament responsible for the electrical conductivity switching. The experiments presented in this work provide valuable knowledge about oxide ion dynamics in redox-based memristive devices.
基于氧化物的忆阻器件的运行依赖于靠近金属氧化物界面的电场对氧空位的快速积累和消耗。在此,我们表明该界面处氧空位局部浓度的可逆变化也会导致热边界电阻(TBR)发生变化,即热阻开关效应。我们使用频域热反射来监测(Pt,Cr)/SrTiO器件中的界面金属氧化物TBR,结果表明在通常的置位/复位操作电压下,TBR会发生约20%的变化,具体取决于器件的结构。随时间变化的热弛豫实验表明,除了负责电导率切换的离子细丝外,沿着金属/氧化物界面的整个区域都会发生离子重排。本文所展示的实验为基于氧化还原的忆阻器件中的氧离子动力学提供了有价值的知识。
