ABSTRACTResistance switching in metal – insulator - metal (MIM) structures with transition metal oxides as the insulator material is a promising concept for upcoming non-volatile memories. The electronic properties of transition metal oxides can be tailored in a wide range by doping and external fields. In this study SrTiO3 single crystals are subjected to high temperature vacuum annealing. The vacuum annealing introduces oxygen vacancies, which act as donor centers. MIM stacks are produced by physical vapor deposition of Au and Ti contacts on the front and rear face of the SrTiO3 crystal. The time dependent forming of the MIM stacks under an external voltage is investigated for crystals with varying bulk conductivities. For continued formation, the resistivity increases up to failure of the system where no current can be measured anymore and switching becomes impossible.

The role of orbital ordering on metal–insulator transition in transition-metal oxides is investigated by the cluster self-consistent field approach in the strong correlation regime. A clear dependence of the insulating gap of single-particle excitation spectra on the orbital order parameter is found. The thermal fluctuation drives the orbital order–disorder transition, diminishes the gap and leads to the metal–insulator transition. The unusual temperature dependence of the orbital polarization in the orbital insulator is also manifested in the resonant X-ray scattering intensity.
