Abstract

Organic memristive device based on polyaniline emeraldine base–polyethylene oxide was fabricated. Cyclic voltage–current characteristics of the device, measured at different acquisition rate, revealed the transformation of the linear behavior at high scanning rate through the curves with the pronounced hysteresis loop at the middle rate values and finally to the characteristics, suitable for the utilization of the device in synapse-mimicking circuits.
