Abstract

We consider the effect of metal electrodes on the polarizability and nucleation of metal phases responsible for the operations of the emerging solid-state memory. Our analysis is based on the image-charge approach. We find results for point dipoles in static and oscillatory fields as well as an erect cylindrical nucleus near metal surfaces in resistive switching memories. We predict a large increase in polarizability and nucleation rate due to the metal electrode effects.
