摘要: A reproducible current switching effect has been observed in various mixed‐stack organic charge transfer crystals whose ionicities are close to the neutral‐ionic phase boundary. This appears be related intrinsic nonlinear conductivity, which recently reported these crystals. a reasonably large delay time and our results indicate that it is bulk property of Discussion given on possible mechanism this effect.
