Abstract
An electrically operated, resistive memory element includes a volume of resistive memory material, adapted to be switched between different detectable resistive states in response to selected enery pulses; means for delivering electrical signals to at least a portion of the volume of resistive memory material; and a volume of heating material for Ohmic heating of the resistive memory material in response to the electrical signals. The volume of heating material is embedded in the volume of resistive memory material.
