Circuit Elements With Memory: Memristors, Memcapacitors, and Meminductors
@article{Ventra2009CircuitEW, title={Circuit Elements With Memory: Memristors, Memcapacitors, and Meminductors}, author={Massimiliano Di Ventra and Yuriy V. Pershin and Leon Ong Chua}, journal={Proceedings of the IEEE}, year={2009}, volume={97}, pages={1717-1724} }
We extend the notion of memristive systems to capacitive and inductive elements, namely, capacitors and inductors whose properties depend on the state and history of the system. All these elements typically show pinched hysteretic loops in the two constitutive variables that define them: current-voltage for the memristor, charge-voltage for the memcapacitor, and current-flux for the meminductor. We argue that these devices are common at the nanoscale, where the dynamical properties of electrons…

On the physical properties of memristive, memcapacitive and meminductive systems

It is shown that ideal memristors, namely those whose state depends only on the charge that flows through them (or on the history of the voltage), are subject to very strict physical conditions and are unable to protect their memory state against the unavoidable fluctuations, and therefore are susceptible to a stochastic catastrophe.
