Halide perovskite materials are being researched for their potential in resistive switching memory devices due to properties like current-voltage hysteresis and easy fabrication.
Five compositions of Cl-doped RbPbI films were created, showing that increased Cl concentration leads to improved conductivity.
The device with 20% Cl substitution showed excellent performance in on/off ratio, endurance, and storage capacity, with conductive atomic force microscopy revealing that the switching mechanism relies on the formation of conductive filaments due to iodine vacancies.
