Abstract:
1. A device, comprising: a first nanotube having a first orientation; a second nanotube having a second orientation; and a layer of state changing material disposed between the first nanotube and the second nanotube, wherein the first orientation of the first nanotube and the second orientation of the second nanotube results in an intersecting area between the first nanotube and the second nanotube, wherein the layer of state changing material disposed between the first and second nanotubes extends beyond the intersecting area between the first and the second nanotubes, wherein a first portion of the state changing material disposed in the intersecting area changes state responsive to an electrical signal applied to at least one of the first nanotube, the second nanotube or both, and wherein a second portion of the layer of state changing material extending beyond the intersecting area does not change state responsive to the electrical signal.
