Abstract

In this paper, we give a short look at the concept of memristive nano-technology, its history, and actual state-of-the-art. It is expected that together with advanced light-driven data transfer technology, computer operation will change dramatically by memristors, a new kind of the computer memory, which is becoming a sustaining hotspot in fields of physics and electronics. This entry aims to familiarize scientists working in the field of photonics with the phenomenon of resistive switching in ac-driven memristors. In addition to already published results, we present our original interpretation of resistance changes in heterostructures based on complex oxides with oxygen vacancies as the most moveable component under applied electric fields.
