We investigate the application of conductive domain walls (CDWs) in exfoliated thin-film lithium niobate (LNO) for resistive switching in a standard metal-ferroelectric-metal stack. An abrupt increase over at least 5 orders of magnitude in the unidirectional conductivity is observed when the voltage sweep approaches the coercive voltage. Local-scale measurements involving AFM techniques confirm that the conductivity indeed correlates with the formation of CDWs. The high- and low-resistance-states show a retention of >104 s and an endurance over 105 cycles with a resistance window of 104 and a high device homogeneity. The non-volatile current is tunable both by varying the writing voltage and exposure time, and indeed decreases for larger writing voltage. The transport mechanism was found to be space-charge limited, with temperature-dependent transport measurements confirming a small-electron polaron hopping. All these experiments are in good agreement with the developed phase-field modeling.
