Damage threshold of LiF crystal irradiated by femtosecond hard XFEL pulse sequence.

Here we demonstrate the results of investigating the damage threshold of a LiF crystal after irradiating it with a sequence of coherent femtosecond pulses using the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL). The laser fluxes on the crystal surface varied in the range ∼ 0.015-13 kJ/cm per pulse when irradiated with a sequence of 1-100 pulses (t ∼ 20 fs, E = 9 keV).

Convolutional Neural Network Based on Crossbar Arrays of (Co-Fe-B)(LiNbO) Nanocomposite Memristors.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in image recognition and processing tasks. Memristor-based CNNs accumulate the advantages of emerging memristive devices, such as nanometer critical dimensions, low power consumption, and functional similarity to biological synapses. Most studies on memristor-based CNNs use either software models of memristors for simulation analysis or full hardware CNN realization.

Parylene-based memristive crossbar structures with multilevel resistive switching for neuromorphic computing.

Currently, there is growing interest in wearable and biocompatible smart computing and information processing systems that are safe for the human body. Memristive devices are promising for solving such problems due to a number of their attractive properties, such as low power consumption, scalability, and the multilevel nature of resistive switching (plasticity). The multilevel plasticity allows memristors to emulate synapses in hardware neuromorphic computing systems (NCSs).
