Abstract

A new method to realize a discrete memristor is proposed. The device under study consists of a tube filled of aqueous saturated solution of copper sulfate which can be electrolyzed by using two asymmetric copper electrodes, one of which has a considerably smaller cross-sectional area than to the other one. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that this device has exactly the properties of a memristor if it is designed such that the electrical field and the current density on the thinner electrode when it acts as anode are sufficiently large. Different aspects of the proposed discrete memristor, including pinched hysteresis loop, on-off resistance ratio and memory volatilization, are studied and experimental results are presented.
