This “read me” file aims to explain how the dataset file “Data for-An electrical characterisation methodology for identifying the switching mechanism in TiO2 memristive stacks". This is an excel type file that consist of five (5) sheets. Each one of them contains the raw data presented in paper’s figures: 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c respectively. The symbols used have their usual meaning as: V: for voltage I: for current T: for the absolute temperature R: for resistance All the other plots/figures presented in the manuscript are generated by these raw data. Any additional information possibly required exist either on the plots or on the manuscript text.
