>Freely interpreting the graph, I expect that the 2 orders of magnitude (10^5-10^7) resistance range covers the extremes of crystalline-to-amorphous so the structure IMO is possibly a high aspect ratio via (hole) with a small crystalline volume adjacent to the heating electrode and a relative extensive length of amorphous material above that to the upper contact. Perhaps other mechanisms are operative with this structure. Any thoughts RAY?<

Not really. But, I think Tyler said the model shown -- earlier called the "matchstick model", I believe -- was illustrative of other structures as well. That is, I assume, the mechanisms could be understood from that model, but the structures being seriously considered for production might be quite different.
