Abstract

The rich phase diagrams and peculiar physical properties of rare earth perovskite nickelates (RNiO<sub>3</sub>) have recently attracted much attention. Their electronic structures are highly sensitive to carrier density and bandwidth due to Mott physics. Here, the electrochemically driven giant resistive switching in Pt/RNiO<sub>3</sub>/Nb-SrTiO<sub>3</sub> heterostructures is reported. Systematic investigation confirms that oxygen vacancies migration modifies the interfacial barrier at the RNiO<sub>3</sub>/Nb-SrTiO<sub>3</sub> interface and causes the resistive switching behavior. An ON/OFF ratio of about 10<sup>5</sup> at room temperature is observed, which can be modulated by controlling the oxygen vacancies during sample fabrication or by varying the rare earth element in RNiO<sub>3</sub>. The findings provide an important step forward toward the development of multifunctional electronic devices based on perovskite nickelates. © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
