Abstract

We report on the ferromagnetism of conducting filaments formed in a NiO thin film, which exhibited a typical bistable resistive switching characteristic. The NiO thin film showed an antiferromagnetic hysteresis loop for a high resistive state (R(OFF)). However, for a low resistive state (R(ON)), the conducting filaments exhibited a ferromagnetic hysteresis loop for the field cooling. The ferromagnetic hysteresis behavior of the R(ON) state reveals switchable exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic Ni conducting filaments and the antiferromagnetic NiO layer.
