Summary on Grant Application Form
A new electrical phenomenon called current induced conductivity has been discovered in amorphous silicon-rich semiconducting alloys. This proposal aims to discover how this effect depends on material properties and current density in order to ascertain its range of applications. In particular the effect will be evaluated in the context of programmable memory elements.
