Article Abstract

In this study, nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching and synaptic emulation behaviors are performed in an InGaP quantum dots (QDs)/HfO-based memristor device. First, the physical and chemical properties of InGaP QDs are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and spectrophotometric analysis. Through comparative experiments, it is proven that the HfO layer improves the variations in resistive switching characteristics. Additionally, the Al/QDs/HfO/ITO device exhibits reversible switching performances with excellent data retention. Fast switching speeds in the order of nanoseconds were confirmed, which could be explained by trapping/detrapping and quantum tunneling effects by the trap provided by nanoscale InGaP QDs. In addition, the operating voltage is decreased when the device is exposed to ultraviolet light for low-power switching. Biological synapse features such as spike-timing-dependent plasticity are emulated for neuromorphic systems. Finally, the incremental step pulse using proven algorithm method enabled the implementation of four-bit states (16 states), markedly enhancing the inference precision of neuromorphic systems.

Achieving UVA/B-selective, skin-inspired nociceptors with perception and blockade functions at the single-unit device level remains challenging. This is because the device necessitates distinct components for every performance metric, thereby leading to complex preparation processes and restricted performance, as well as the absence of deep UV (UVB and below)-selective semiconductors. Here, to address this, we develop a structure-simplification skin-inspired nociceptor using a reverse type-II CuAgSbI/MoS heterostructure.

Clinically, even in patients diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia, spermatogenesis may be present in some seminiferous tubules, which gives the patient hope of having biological offspring of his own. However, there is still a blank for high-precision detection technologies to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. In this work, we successfully developed a minimally invasive fine needle detection memristive device that features a structure composed of Ag/CH-MnO/FTO by utilizes the organic-inorganic heterojunction as functional layer.

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) continue to be the subject of much detailed and systematic study, being suitable for a diverse range of applications including bioelectronics, sensors, and neuromorphic computing. OECTs conventionally use a liquid electrolyte, and this architecture is well suited for sensing or bio-interfacing applications where biofluids or liquid samples can be used directly as the electrolyte. A more recent trend is solid-state OECTs, where a solid or semi-solid electrolyte such as an ion gel, hydrogel or polyelectrolyte replaces the liquid component for an all-solid-state device.

The integration of information memory and computing enabled by nonvolatile memristive device has been widely acknowledged as a critical solution to circumvent the von Neumann architecture limitations. Herein, the Au/NiO/CaBiTiO/FTO (CBTi/NiO) heterojunction based memristor with varying film thicknesses are demonstrated on FTO/glass substrates, and the CBTi/NiO-4 sample shows the optimal memristor characteristics with 5 × 10 stable switching cycles and 10-s resistance state retention. The electrical conduction in the low-resistance state is dominated by Ohmic behavior, while the high-resistance state exhibited characteristics consistent with the space-charge-limited conduction (SCLC) model.
