Disclosed herein is a resistive switching device having an amorphous layer comprised of an insulating silicon-containing material and a conducting material. The amorphous layer may be disposed between two or more electrodes and be capable of switching between at least two resistance states. Circuits and memory devices including resistive switching devices are also disclosed, and a composition of matter involving an insulating silicon-containing material and a conducting material comprising between 5 and 40 percent by molar percentage of the composition is disclosed herein as well. Also disclosed herein are methods for switching the resistance of an amorphous material.
