High-performance optoelectronic nonvolatile memory is promising candidate for next-generation information memory devices. Here, a floating-gate memory is constructed based on van der Waals heterostructure, which exhibits a large storage window ratio (≈75.5%) and an extremely high on/off ratio (10 ), as well as an ultrafast electrical writing/erasing speed (40 ns). The enhanced performance enables as-fabricated devices to present excellent multilevel data storage, robust retention, and endurance performance. Moreover, stable optical erasing operations can be achieved by illuminating the device with a laser pulse, showcasing outstanding optoelectronic storage performance (optical erasing speed ≈ 2.3 ms). The nonvolatile and high-speed characteristics of these devices hold significant potential for the integration of high-performance nonvolatile memory.

Magnetic random-access memory that uses magnetic tunnel junction memory cells is a high-performance, non-volatile memory technology that goes beyond traditional charge-based memories. Today, its speed is limited by the high magnetization of the memory storage layer. Here we prepare magnetic tunnel junction memory devices with a low magnetization ferrimagnetic Heusler alloy MnGe as the memory storage layer on technologically relevant amorphous substrates using a combination of a nitride seed layer and a chemical templating layer.

Ferroelectric semiconductors have the advantages of switchable polarization ferroelectric field regulation and semiconductor transport characteristics, which are highly promising in ferroelectric transistors and nonvolatile memory. However, it is difficult to prepare a Sn-based perovskite film with both robust ferroelectric and semiconductor properties. Here, by doping with 2-methylbenzimidazole, Sn-based perovskite [93.

Ultraviolet (UV) detection is extensively used in a variety of applications. However, the storage and processing of information after detection require multiple components, resulting in increased energy consumption and data transmission latency. In this paper, a reconfigurable UV photodetector based on CeO/SrTiO heterostructures is demonstrated with in-sensor computing capabilities achieved through interface engineering.

Spin-Orbit Torque (SOT) Magnetic Random-Access Memory (MRAM) devices offer improved power efficiency, nonvolatility, and performance compared to static RAM, making them ideal, for instance, for cache memory applications. Efficient magnetization switching, long data retention, and high-density integration in SOT MRAM require ferromagnets (FM) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) combined with large torques enhanced by Orbital Hall Effect (OHE). We have engineered a PMA [Co/Ni] FM on selected OHE layers (Ru, Nb, Cr) and investigated the potential of theoretically predicted larger orbital Hall conductivity (OHC) to quantify the torque and switching current in OHE/[Co/Ni] stacks.

Advancements in neuromorphic computing have given an impetus to the development of systems with adaptive behavior, dynamic responses, and energy efficiency characteristics. Although charge-based or emerging memory technologies such as memristors have been developed to emulate synaptic plasticity, replicating the key functionality of neurons-integrating diverse presynaptic inputs to fire electrical impulses-has remained challenging. In this study, we developed reconfigurable metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCaps) based on hafnium diselenide (HfSe).
