Abstract:
Experimental study of a uni junction transistor (UJT) has enabled to show that this electronic component has the same features as the so-called “memristor”. So, we have used the memristor’s direct current (DC) vM–iM characteristic for modeling the UJT’s DC current–voltage characteristic. This has led us to confirm on the one hand, that the UJT is a memristor and, on the other hand, to propose a new four-dimensional autonomous dynamical system allowing to describe experimentally observed phenomena such as the transition from a limit cycle to torus breakdown.
