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… Expand

Fingerprints of a memristor
In this paper, we present a device to be a memristor should exhibit three characteristic fingerprints: (a) Pinched hysteresis loop in the voltage v vs. current i plane, namely, the v-i loci always… Expand
Memristive fingerprints of electric arcs
TLDR
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 $f\rightarrow \infty$). Expand
A Generic Model of Memristors With Parasitic Components
TLDR
A generic model of memristive systems, which can emulate the behavior of real Memristive devices is proposed, by adding four parasitic circuit elements, namely, asmall capacitance, a small inductance, aSmall DC current source, and a small DC voltage source, to the memristIVE device. Expand
Pinched hysteresis with inverse-memristor frequency characteristics in some nonlinear circuit elements
TLDR
This work reports on a model that exhibits pinched hysteresis yet it may represent a nonlinear inductor or a non linear capacitor or a derivative-controlled nonlinear resistor/transconductor, which has inverse-memristor characteristics. Expand
Memristor interpretations based on constitutive relations
The attractive memristor is interpreted based on its constitutive relation. The memory property of the memristor is explained, along with the explanation on its three fingerprints: (1) Pinched… Expand
Memristor Based on the Contact of Two Metal Balls
The memristor was postulated as the fourth passive element in 1971. However, since the implementation of the Hewlett-Packard (HP) memristor in 2008, the role of the memristor as an element of an… Expand
The memristive system behavior of a diac
The memristor was introduced as a nonlinear circuit element in 1971, and systems showing memristor-like properties such as zero-crossing hysteresis loops were described in 1976. In 2008, a thin-film… Expand
Complex behavior in memristor circuits based on static nonlinear two-ports and dynamic bipole
TLDR
A novel element from this class of memristor circuits is presented which experiences various complex behaviors, including periodic oscillations and chaos, and may shed light on interesting engineering applications that memristors may be suited for. Expand
Graphical modelling of pinched hysteresis loops of memristors
TLDR
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. Expand

TLDR
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.
