Description
In this paper we report the observation of curent induced change of resistance of thin metallic oxide films. The resistance changes at a very low current (current density $J \geq 10^{3}$ A/cm$^{2}$). We find that the time dependence associated with the processes (increase of resistance) show a streched exponential type dependence at lower temperature, which crosses over to a creep type behavior at $T \geq$ 350 K. The time scale associated shows a drastic drop in the magnitude at $T \approx$ 350 K, where a long range diffusion sets in increasing the conductivity noise. The phenomena is like a "glass-transition" in the random lattice of oxygen ions.
