Abstract
The two types of switching phenomena that characterize thin films of covalent amorphous solids are described in detail. Several mechanisms that can account for these phenomena are presented and analyzed in view of recent experimental data. Two applications of bistable switching to computer memories are discussed—the electronically alterable Read-Mostly Memory (RMM) and the mass optical memory (MOM).Keywords
