Memristors such as phase-change memory and resistive memory have been proposed to emulate the synaptic activities in neuromorphic systems. However, the low reliability of these types of memories is their biggest challenge for commercialization. Here, a highly reliable memristor array using floating-gate memory operated by two terminals (source and drain) using van der Waals layered materials is demonstrated. Centimeter-scale samples (1.5 cm × 1.5 cm) of MoS as a channel and graphene as a trap layer grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are used for array fabrication with Al O as the tunneling barrier. With regard to the memory characteristics, 93% of the devices exhibit an on/off ratio of over 10 with an average ratio of 10 . The high on/off ratio and reliable endurance in the devices allow stable 6-level memory applications. The devices also exhibit excellent memory durability over 8000 cycles with a negligible shift in the threshold voltage and on-current, which is a significant improvement over other types of memristors. In addition, the devices can be strained up to 1% by fabricating on a flexible substrate. This demonstration opens a practical route for next-generation electronics with CVD-grown van der Waals layered materials.

Memristors are commonly used to introduce various chaotic systems and can be used to enhance their chaotic characteristics. However, due to the strict construction conditions of Hamiltonian systems, there has been limited research on the development of memristive Hamiltonian conservative chaotic systems (MHCCSs). In this work, a method for constructing three-terminal memristors is proposed, and the three-terminal memristors are incorporated into the Hamiltonian system, resulting in the development of a class of n-D MHCCS.

Recent experimental studies in the awake brain have identified a rule for synaptic plasticity that is instrumental for the instantaneous creation of memory traces in area CA1 of the mammalian brain: Behavioral Time scale Synaptic Plasticity. This one-shot learning rule differs in five essential aspects from previously considered plasticity mechanisms. We introduce a transparent model for the core function of this learning rule and establish a theory that enables a principled understanding of the system of memory traces that it creates.

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs), often referred to as digital fingerprints, are emerging as critical elements in enhancing hardware security and encryption. While significant progress has been made in developing optical and memory-based PUFs, integrating reconfigurability with sensitivity to circularly polarized light (CPL) remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a chiroptical synaptic memristor (CSM) as a reconfigurable PUF, leveraging a two-dimensional organic-inorganic halide chiral perovskite.

Among the transition metal oxides, hematite (α-FeO) has been widely used in the preparation of memristors because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. In this paper, α-FeO nanowire arrays with a preferred orientation along the [110] direction were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and annealing treatment on the FTO substrate, and then α-FeO nanowire array-based Au/α-FeO/FTO memristors were obtained by plating the Au electrodes on the as-prepared α-FeO nanowire arrays. The as-prepared α-FeO nanowire array-based Au/α-FeO/FTO memristors have demonstrated stable nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching behaviors with a high resistive switching ratio of about two orders of magnitude, good resistance retention (up to 10 s), and ultralow set voltage (V = +2.

This study presents the fabrication and characterization of a dual-functional Pt/GaO/Pt optoelectronic synaptic device, capable of operating as both a memristor and a memcapacitor. We detail the optimized radio frequency (RF) sputtering parameters, including a base pressure of 8.7 × 10 Torr, RF power of 100 W, working pressure of 3 mTorr, and the use of high-purity GaO and Pt targets.
