What is memristor ?

Memristor is really a MEMory

ResISTOR

Memristor can be defined as a two

terminal device which shows the relation between magnetic flux and charge

Memristor Analogy

The term Memristor was first proposed by Leon Chaua in 1971 when he was a rising professor at

The University of California Berkeley

THE FORTH FUNDAMENTAL DEVICE

MEMISTOR
IN 1960 Bernard Widrow develops a 3 terminal device called a "memistor" as a new fundamental circuit component forming the basis of a neural network circuit called ADALINE (ADAptive LInear NEuron).

1960:

Bernard Widrow develops a 3-terminal device called a "memistor" as a new fundamental circuit component forming the basis of a neural network circuit called ADALINE (ADAptive LInear NEuron).

1971:
Lion chaua postulates a new two terminal circuit element characterised by flux charge relationship in the article "Memristor-the Missing Circuit Element" published in IEEE Transactions on Circuit Theory

1972:
Leon Chua and his student Sung Mo Kang publish a paper entitled "Memristive Devices and Systems" in the Proceedings of the IEEE generalizing the theory of memristors and memristive systems

1998:
Bhagwat Swaroop, William West and others publish a paper entitled Programmable Current Mode Hebbian Learning Neural Network Using Programmable Metallization Cell" in the Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems demonstrating that the complexity of an artificial synapse can be minimized by using an ionic programmable resistance device.

2008:
MAY

Dmitri Strukov, Gregory Snider, Duncan Stewart, and Stan Williams, of HP Labs, publish an article in Nature
"The missing memristor found"

identifying a link between the 2-terminal resistance switching behavior found in nano scale systems and Leon Chua's memristor.

JULY Victor Erokhin and M.P. Fontana claim to have developed a polymeric memristor before the titanium dioxide memristor of Stan Williams group in the article "Electrochemically controlled polymeric device: a memristor (and more) found two years ago." SEPTEMBER Blaise Mouttet, a graduate student at George Mason University, presents a poster entitled "Proposal for Memristors in Signal Processing" at Nano-Net 2008, a nanotechnology conference in Boston

2009:
MARCH

XiaobinWang, Yiran Chen, Haiwen Xi, Hai Li, and Dimitar Dimitrov publishes article entitled Spintronic Memristor Through Spin-Torque-Induced Magnetization Motion in IEEE Electron Device Letters JULY
NIST scientist demonstrate flexible memory which has memristor properties

SEPTEMBER Memristive behavior of magnetic tunnel junctions is reported by researchers from the Bielefeld University, Germany.

Types of memristors
Memistor Unrecognized First Memristor Hp labs TiO2 switching memristor

Spintronic
Memristor

Memistor
In 1960 circuit element called the memistor (a resistor with memory) has been devised by B. Widrow and M. E, Hoff for the realization of automatically adapted ADALINE neurons The first working memistors were made of ordinary pencil leads immersed in test tubes containing copper sulphatesulphuric acid plating baths. These elements are small and rugged, cheap, simple, and noncritical in manufacture.

In may of 2008, 37 year old Waiting for Leon Chua blossomed, when scientists under the leadership of R . Stanley Williams created the first memristor at

HP labs

The Memristor was created out of TiO2 and TiO 2 -x

How H Ps Memristor works

DRAWBACKS
The models do not take into account memcapacitive effects. The models are poorly formulated. The models do not properly distinguish the internal and external electric field.

Spintronic Memristor
Yiran Chen and Xiaobin Wang, researchers at disk-drive Manufacturer Seagate Technology described three examples of possible magnetic memristors in IEEE Electron Device Letters Spintronics is at the heart of recent advances in hard-drive data density and the niche nonvolatile memory known as MRAM

The three methods

NISTs effort to built the first

nonvolatile fast flexible memory for defense purpose led them to the invention of first ever flexible memristor in July of 2009

This memristor uses the same material as that of HPs memristor but in a much simpler way

Other types of Memristor to be developed

Magneto Resistive memory effect

Electrostatic effect
Valency change effect Thermo chemical effect Phase change memory Nano mechanical memory

Ferroelectric/ MF Tunneling

Nonvolatile memories

Booting free computers

Logic/computing

Artificial Brain

Physarum polycephalum

Big Guns involved

Future

Memcapacitor
and

Meminductor

To conclude
It is sure that Memristor is going to revolutionaries the 21st century as radically as the transistor in the 20th century But Memristor will have to wait a few years for a killer app like transistor which had to wait almost a decade after its invention for the killer app in the form of hearing aids

Finally as Leon O Chua mentioned

Its time to rewrite all the EE textbooks
