Abstract
A switching element for reversible switching between an electrically insulating OFF state and an electrically conductive ON state, having two electrodes, namely a reactive electrode and an inert electrode, and also a solid electrolyte arranged between the two electrodes, which is characterized by the fact that the electrical conductivity of the solid electrolyte increases as the temperature thereof rises, but essentially no longer increases below a critical decomposition temperature of the solid electrolyte.
