Three Fingerprints of Memristor
@article{Adhikari2013ThreeFO, title={Three Fingerprints of Memristor}, author={Shyam Prasad Adhikari and Maheshwar Prasad Sah and Hyongsuk Kim and Leon Ong Chua}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers}, year={2013}, volume={60}, pages={3008-3021} }
This paper illustrates that for a device to be a memristor it should exhibit three characteristic fingerprints: 1) When driven by a bipolar periodic signal the device must exhibit a “pinched hysteresis loop” in the voltage-current plane, assuming the response is periodic. 2) Starting from some critical frequency, the hysteresis lobe area should decrease monotonically as the excitation frequency increases, and 3) the pinched hysteresis loop should shrink to a single-valued function when the…

The hybrid Cassie-Mayr model of electric arcs is shown to have the pinched hysteresis nature, meaning that the voltage-current graph becomes that of a resistor (with an increased linearity for $f\rightarrow \infty$).

This graphical modelling method provides a tool to emulate the hysteresis loop pinched at the origin, with the lobe area varying with the excitation frequency, and has been successfully applied to model the Hewlett–Packard memristor device.
How Can the Hysteresis Loop of the Ideal Memristor Be Pinched?
- Materials ScienceIEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs

This brief generalizes the present knowledge of the parameters of the pinched hysteresis loop for a periodical zero-dc driving signal described by an odd function of time and concurrently brings new relationships between the parameter versus state map characteristics, the type of the excitation, and thetype of loop pinching.
