abstract = {Nanoscale redox reactions in transition metal oxides are
believed to be the physical foundation of memristive
devices, which present a highly scalable, low-power
alternative for future non-volatile memory devices. The
interface between noble metal top electrodes and Nb-doped
SrTiO3 single crystals may serve as a prominent but not yet
well-understood example of such memristive devices. In this
report, we will present experimental evidence that nanoscale
redox reactions and the associated valence change mechanism
are indeed responsible for the resistance change in noble
metal/Nb-doped SrTiO3 junctions with dimensions ranging from
the micrometer scale down to the nanometer regime. Direct
verification of the valence change mechanism is given by
spectromicroscopic characterization of switching filaments.
Furthermore, it is found that the resistance change over
time is driven by the reoxidation of a previously
oxygen-deficient region. The retention times of the low
resistance states, accordingly, can be dramatically improved
under vacuum conditions as well as through the insertion of
a thin Al2O3 layer which prevents this reoxidation. These
insights finally confirm the resistive switching mechanism
at these interfaces and are therefore of significant
importance for the study and application of memristive
devices based on Nb-doped SrTiO3 as well as systems with
similar switching mechanisms.},
