Abstract

We have been studying the dynamic effects of bipolar resistive switching (BERS) in memristive planar heterostructures based on c-oriented epitaxial films of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO). We have been observing the suppression of the memristive properties of the structures under sinusoidal and pulse loads and the nucleation and the evolution of the regions of current density and electric field in the structures under study. We found that the limiting frequencies of a sinusoidal type load for observing the switching effect are frequencies of about 104 Hz. It has been shown that the percolation channel is formed by the appearance of electric field domains in which the electric field threshold is reached. The switchings are controlled by two processes, with time t < ms and a longer time of the order of a few seconds. Possible physical models of the observed phenomena are being discussed.
