abstract = {The great variability in the electrical properties of
multinary oxide materials, ranging from insulating, through
semiconducting to metallic behaviour, has given rise to the
idea of modulating the electronic properties on a nanometre
scale for high-density electronic memory devices. A
particularly promising aspect seems to be the ability of
perovskites to provide bistable switching of the conductance
between non-metallic and metallic behaviour by the
application of an appropriate electric field. Here we
demonstrate that the switching behaviour is an intrinsic
feature of naturally occurring dislocations in single
crystals of a prototypical ternary oxide, SrTiO(3). The
phenomenon is shown to originate from local modulations of
the oxygen content and to be related to the self-doping
capability of the early transition metal oxides. Our results
show that extended defects, such as dislocations, can act as
bistable nanowires and hold technological promise for
terabit memory devices.},
