    abstract     = {Summary: The resistance switching in amorphous carbon (a-C) is mathematically simulated on the basis of quantum molecular dynamics. The electric conductivity in thin a-C films is related to a phase transition due to an electric field and corresponding Joule heating and cooling. Simulations show that the transition mechanism is related to the clusterization of existing conducting regions of graphite ($sp^2$) in a nonconducting diamond ($sp^3$) matrix. Simulations yield the conditions for the phase transition in a-C from one state to another. Excited molecular orbitals and the energy gap at different temperatures are also calculated.},
