摘要: A facile one-step hydrothermal method has been reported to synthesize the $\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanosheet arrays with the preferred orientation along the [104] direction on the ITO substrate. The $\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanosheet arrays-based W/$\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$/ITO memristor has been achieved by depositing the circular W top electrodes on the $\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanosheet arrays. The as-prepared W/$\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$/ITO memristor shows a reliable nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching behavior with the high resistance ratio of about 10$^{3}$ at the reading voltage of 0.1 V, good resistance retention over 10$^{3 }$ s, ultralow set voltage of $-0.6$ V and reset voltage of 0.7 V, and good durability. In addition, the tunneling conduction mechanism modified by the oxygen vacancies has been proposed and suggested to be responsible for the nonvolatile resistive switching behavior of the as-prepared W/$\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$/ITO memristor. This work demonstrates that the as-prepared $\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanosheet arrays-based W/$\alpha $-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$/ITO memristor would be a promising candidate for further ultralow power nonvolatile memory applications.
