Abstract
A memory element programmable between different impedance states can include a first electrode layer comprising a semimetal or semiconductor (semimetal/semiconductor); a second electrode; and a switch layer formed between the first and second electrodes and comprising an insulating material; wherein atoms of the semimetal/semiconductor provide a reversible change in conductivity of the insulating material by application of electric fields.
