Memristors for the Curious Outsiders
@article{Caravelli2018MemristorsFT, title={Memristors for the Curious Outsiders}, author={Francesco Caravelli and Juan Pablo Carbajal}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2018}, volume={abs/1812.03389} }
We present both an overview and a perspective of recent experimental advances and proposed new approaches to performing computation using memristors. A memristor is a 2-terminal passive component with a dynamic resistance depending on an internal parameter. We provide an brief historical introduction, as well as an overview over the physical mechanism that lead to memristive behavior. This review is meant to guide nonpractitioners in the field of memristive circuits and their connection to…

Can the authors change the average state of a resistor by simply applying white noise is positive if the resistor has memory of its past dynamics (a memristive system), and it is proved that, if the memory arises only from the charge flowing through the resistor, the current flowing through such memristor cannot charge a capacitor connected in series and, therefore, cannot produce useful work.

It is argued that capacitive and inductive elements, namely, capacitors and inductors whose properties depend on the state and history of the system, are common at the nanoscale, where the dynamical properties of electrons and ions are likely to depend upon the history ofThe system, at least within certain time scales.
