Materials for digital information storage are in demand. Amorphous silver silicates, prepared by fusion of Ag 2 O and SiO 2 under ≥ 1800 bar of O 2 at 600°C, exhibit bistable switching behavior after a forming process. A given storage state is conserved without any need for a holding current; “silver clusters” are presumably involved.
