10. We have obtained the HRTEM images for a Ni Ox film at several electric states of on (low resistance), off (high resistance), and BD (breakdown) as well as pristine state. In the case of BD state achieved using stress of strong voltage, the defective structure of Ni Ox dominantly appears (unpublished).
