Abstract
A single ZnO nanowire device with volatile resistive switching behavior has been prepared. Different from traditional resistive switching devices, such ZnO nanowire devices do not exhibit resistive switching behaviors under a single bias voltage, and appear resistive switching behavior under the combined action of light stimuli and bias voltage. Through the demonstration of the time-dependent hysteresis curve and atmosphere-dependent hysteresis loop of the resistive switching devices, it is believed that under the resistive switching process, ultraviolet illumination can increase the carrier concentration and modulate the barrier depletion structure, and external bias voltage can ionize the surface state. They work together to modulate the switching process of the devices. Such light stimuli and bias voltage dual-modulated resistive switching device enables optical control and may thus be considered for sensory applications or optically tunable memories.
