A method for reconfiguration of a vortex density in a rare earth manganate, to a non-volatile impedance switch having reconfigurable impedance, and to the use thereof as micro-inductance is disclosed. A unique voltage-time profile is applied between a first and a second electrically conductive contact attached to the rare earth manganate, such that the rare earth manganate passes through an ordering temperature in a region of an electric field forming between the two electrically conductive contacts during a cooling process during and after application of the voltage pulse or the voltage ramp, and the vortex density is thus influenced and adjusted locally in the region of the electric field forming between the two electrically conductive contacts.

A transparent specimen slide on which the range and the magnitude of the near-surface electrostatic forces can be influenced and set during a process of producing the specimen slide. The specimen slide has a surface on the supporting side and a surface facing away from the supporting side and at least three layers: an electrically insulating first layer, a silicon-containing second layer arranged on the first layer, and an electrically insulating third layer arranged on the second layer. An interface is formed between the first and second layers and between the second and third layers with a first surface charge density. The interface between the second and third layers has a second surface charge density. The first and second surface charge densities have the same or different signs.

An electronic memristive device that has a complementary analog reconfigurable memristive bidirectional resistive switch. The device has a memristive layer sequence having a BFTO/BFO/BFTO three-ply layer and two electrodes. Titanium traps are arranged in the BFTO interfaces. As a result of mobile acid vacancies, the potential barriers at the interfaces of the electrodes with respect to the memristive layer sequence are in flexible form. By applying voltage pulses, the acid vacancies can be shifted from the interface with respect to the first electrode to the interface with respect to the second electrode, with raising of the potential barrier at one electrode bringing about complementary lowering of the potential barrier of the other electrode. The method for operating the device proposes adapted writing processes that use the overlaying of writing pulse sequences to achieve stipulation of a state pair of complementary resistor states. In conjunction with reading pulses of adapted polarity, the device can implement fuzzy logic and be operated as an artificial synapse with the realization of all four learning curves for complementary learning. A plurality of options for the use of the device are proposed.
