Extended Data Fig. 4: Effect of inter-packet pulse separation on manipulation of the device state.
From: Electrical control of glass-like dynamics in vanadium dioxide for data storage and processing

a, Schematic of a waveform corresponding to a single-pulse excitation (Vset = 2.7 V and 1-μs pulse width) and sensing incubation time after the relaxation time T = 1 s. b, Schematic of waveform corresponding to N-pulse excitation (identical pulses to part a) with inter-packet pulse separation ΔT and sensing the incubation time after the relaxation time T = 1 s. c, Measured incubation time on a 500-nm-long channel device for single pulse excitation and multiple pulse excitation (N = 10) with ΔT = 10 ms, 1 ms, 100 μs, 10 μs. The results clearly shows the state manipulation capability with multiple pulse excitation; however, the inter-packet pulse separation plays no role in the state manipulation.
