In this work, we investigate the effect of Ti incorporation into α-Si on the electrical properties of α-Si:Ti/Ag memristors by varying the Ti concentration up to 27.4%. The electroforming voltage is reduced from 5.0 V in undoped devices to 1.1 V for the samples with the highest Ti concentration, while high ON/OFF resistance ratios (~10<sup>6</sup>), stable retention for at least 12 h, and multilevel resistance states (>10<sup>3</sup>) are preserved.

A spatial resolution on the order of 50 μm is achieved, which is significantly smaller than the thermal flame thickness and the characteristic scales of heat-release zones. The technique is validated using a methane–air flame stabilized on a flat porous burner. It is shown that for rich mixtures, the combustion front structure is two-dimensional due to the formation of a secondary conical diffusion flame at the interface between the unreacted fuel and the surrounding air. It is found that the use of a nitrogen shielding stream co-flowing at the same linear velocity as the exiting fuel–air mixture from the burner completely suppresses the secondary flame and ensures a one-dimensional flame front structure in the central part of the burner, extending up to approximately 20 mm from its surface. It is demonstrated experimentally for the first time that, for pore diameters up to 400 μm, flow nonuniformities at the scale of the porous structure do not deform the combustion front.
