The morphology, structure and electrical properties of the prepared clusters were characterized by scanning (SEM), transmitting electron (TEM), scanning resistance microscopes (SRM) and Raman scattering. Hysteretic resistive switching behavior was observed in the samples that were studied with ON/OFF switching voltage equal to 8 - 10 V respectively. Simple empirical numerical simulation model, based on Deal-Grove model assumptions and mechanisms, for silver nanoclusters sulphidation process, was proposed.展开更多
