In this study, we investigated nickel oxide (NiO) and gallium-tin oxide (GTO) thin films, which are candidate materials for next-generation non-volatile memory. Using conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM), we directly observed local changes in surface resistance introduced by the application of a bias voltage. By comparing current images and local I–V characteristics obtained by c-AFM, we attributed the differences to the resistive switching mechanisms between NiO and GTO thin films
