Abstract
The mechanism is discussed for the switching of metal-chalcogenide-metal systems from the highly conducting to the poorly conducting state and vice versa. Experimental data illustrating these phenomena are presented. It is shown that it is possible in principle to produce high-speed film-type switches.
