Noise Spectroscopy and Electrical Transport In NbO2 Memristors with Dual Resistive Switching
Electrical properties of NbO2‐based memristors are studied and the ability to engineer them for computing applications is explored. By employing noise spectroscopy and by utilizing a dimerization model of insulators, negative differential resistance and inhomogeneous conduction regions are explained.

Random telegraph noise (RTN) characteristics of memristor depend on external environmental conditions. To avoid these bias‐dependent characteristics, a true random number generator circuit using the RTN current fluctuations of memristor is presented with an edge detection circuit and counter, and bias independence is experimentally demonstrated for ...

Private Telegraphy: The Path from Private Wires to Subscriber Lines in Victorian Britain [PDF]
In this thesis, I investigate private telegraphy from its rise in the late 1830s to the advent of exchange telephony in the early 1880s. In contrast to public telegraphy where telegrams were transmitted over a shared network infrastructure, private ...
