A variety of cellular changes can trigger gating, depending on the ion channel, including changes in voltage across the cell membrane (voltage-gated ion channels), chemicals interacting with the ion channel (ligand-gated ion channels), changes in temperature, [4] stretching or deformation of the cell membrane, addition of a phosphate group to ...
Thin film-based selectors allow higher densities, utilizing < 4 F 2 cell area by stacking memory layers horizontally or vertically. Often the isolation capabilities are inferior to the use of transistors if the on/off ratio for the selector is not sufficient, limiting the ability to operate very large arrays in this architecture.
A memristor (/ ˈ m ɛ m r ɪ s t ər /; a portmanteau of memory resistor) is a non-linear two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage.It was described and named in 1971 by Leon Chua, completing a theoretical quartet of fundamental electrical components which also comprises the resistor, capacitor and inductor.
The Goldman–Hodgkin–Katz voltage equation, sometimes called the Goldman equation, is used in cell membrane physiology to determine the resting potential across a cell's membrane, taking into account all of the ions that are permeant through that membrane.
The electrochemical gradients driving the flow of ions are represented by voltage sources (E n) whose voltages are determined by the ratio of the intra- and extracellular concentrations of the ionic species of interest. Finally, ion pumps are represented by current sources (I p). [clarification needed] The membrane potential is denoted by V m.
Stan Williams of HP Labs also argued that ReRAM was a memristor. [21] However, others challenged this terminology and the applicability of memristor theory to any physically realizable device is open to question. [22] [23] [24] Whether redox-based resistively switching elements (ReRAM) are covered by the current memristor theory is disputed. [25]
Donnan equilibrium across a cell membrane (schematic). The Gibbs–Donnan effect (also known as the Donnan's effect, Donnan law, Donnan equilibrium, or Gibbs–Donnan equilibrium) is a name for the behaviour of charged particles near a semi-permeable membrane that sometimes fail to distribute evenly across the two sides of the membrane. [1]
The membrane is a homogeneous substance; The electrical field is constant so that the transmembrane potential varies linearly across the membrane; The ions access the membrane instantaneously from the intra- and extracellular solutions; The permeant ions do not interact; The movement of ions is affected by both concentration and voltage differences
