Abstract
A simple pulse measurement is suggested to check whether the switching phenomena in materials and devices is due to double injection. In the Ovshinsky Threshold Switch used in the present measurement, it is found that this model cannot account for the observation. The results seem to support the ``thermal models'' for the initiation of the switching in this device.Keywords
