Resistive random access memory (RRAM) has two distinct processes, the SET and RESET processes, that control the formation and dissolution of conductive filament, respectively. The laws of thermodynamics state that these processes correspond to the lowest possible level of free energy. In an RRAM device, a high operating voltage causes device degradation, such as bends, cracks, or bubble-like patterns.

Plasmonic antennas are attractive optical components of the optoelectronic devices, operating in the far-infrared regime for sensing and imaging applications. However, low optical absorption hinders its potential applications, and their performance is limited due to fixed resonance frequency. In this article, a novel gate tunable graphene-metal hybrid plasmonic antenna with stacking configuration is proposed and investigated to achieve tunable performance over a broad range of frequencies with enhanced absorption characteristics.
