(a) Current–voltage (IV) characteristics measured at various temperatures from 3.5 K to 15 K using four-terminal geometry. (b) Differential resistance obtained by numerical differentiating the IV curves in panel (a), which shows a wide NDR. (c) Comparison between IV curves captured by sweeping current bias and sweeping voltage bias using two-terminal geometry. The “S”-type region of sweeping current mode corresponds to the hysteresis of sweeping voltage mode.
