Memristive NbOx/AlOx tunnel barriers have been analyzed by electron energy-loss spectroscopy to the effect of gaining information on the electronic structure. Slight oxidation of the bottom electrode, likely occurring during fabrication of the overlying oxide layers, is observed but is expected to have little to no effect on the I-V characteristics. The AlOx layer was found to exhibit states within the bandgap caused by oxygen vacancies. A model for quantification of the oxygen vacancies is presented and discussed with respect to expected accuracy.
