Abstract

In this work, polyaniline: polystyrene sulfonated (PANI: PSS) spin-coated on ITO glass topped by gold electrodes results in a highly conductive junction which can be open circuited by application of a high current density. The conduction mechanism changes from an ohmic contact to a non-ohmic contact after electrical bias application, and is believed to be due to phase segregation of the electro-statically bonded PANI and PSS at the polymer interface. We believe this phase segregation behavior is applicable for organic resistive memory function.
