Abstract EN
Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Nandi flame seed cuticles (NFSCs) have been studied as a function of irradiation, annealing, and poling temperature.
The cuticles showed memory and threshold switching.
Threshold voltage Vth was about 5 V which is almost five times higher than Vth observed in synthetic polymers.
The threshold voltage Vth increased to 6–8 V after irradiation and annealing depending on the duration of annealing or irradiation.
After switching, conductivity increased by an order of 102.
In reverse bias, increase of current was observed and the memory hysteresis loop was at higher conductivity than at the time of switching.
Switching effect was minimized at a poling temperature of 370 K.
Formation of semiquinones and quinoid radicals from phenolic compounds may have contributed to electrical switching and hysteresis effect.
