Abstract
A device possessing three conduction states comprises two electrodes connected with one another through the agency of a compound in the form C.sub.x H.sub.y in which there are held in suspension particles of vanadium oxide, VO.sub.2, the proportion by volume being of the order of 7%.
Claims4
A three conduction state circuit element, comprising one input electrode and one output electrode and a pasted composite connecting these electrodes to each other a said composite being formed by particles in suspension in a binder, and said binder undergoing a sudden increase in volume, at a first well-defined temperature, said substance changing from the insulating to the conducting state at a second given temperature, lower than said first temperature.
