Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising building blocks for next generation memristive devices, owing to their unique electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties, resulting in effective switching mechanisms for charge transport. Memristors are key components in a wide range of applications including neuromorphic computing, which is becoming increasingly important in artificial intelligence applications. Crossbar arrays are an important component in the development of hardware-based neural networks composed of 2D materials. In this paper, we summarize the current state of research on 2D material-based memristive devices utilizing different switching mechanisms, along with the application of these devices in neuromorphic crossbar arrays. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and future directions for the field.

Mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic circuits represent an ideal medium for reproducing bio-physically realistic dynamics of biological neural systems in real-time. However, similar to their biological counterparts, these circuits have limited resolution and are affected by a high degree of variability. By developing a recurrent spiking neural network model of the retinocortical visual pathway, we show how such noisy and heterogeneous computing substrate can produce linear receptive fields tuned to visual stimuli with specific orientations and spatial frequencies.

Nonlinearity is a crucial characteristic for implementing hardware security primitives or neuromorphic computing systems. The main feature of all memristive devices is this nonlinear behavior observed in their current-voltage characteristics. To comprehend the nonlinear behavior, we have to understand the coexistence of resistive, capacitive, and inertia (virtual inductive) effects in these devices.

Conventional artificial intelligence (AI) systems are facing bottlenecks due to the fundamental mismatches between AI models, which rely on parallel, in-memory, and dynamic computation, and traditional transistors, which have been designed and optimized for sequential logic operations. This calls for the development of novel computing units beyond transistors. Inspired by the high efficiency and adaptability of biological neural networks, computing systems mimicking the capabilities of biological structures are gaining more attention.

Memristors and magnetic tunnel junctions are showing great potential in data storage and computing applications. A magnetoelectrically coupled memristor utilizing electron spin and electric field-induced ion migration can facilitate their operation, uncover new phenomena, and expand applications. In this study, devices consisting of Pt/(LaCoO/SrTiO)/LaCoO/Nb:SrTiO (Pt/(LCO/STO)/LCO/NSTO) are engineered using pulsed laser deposition to form the LCO/STO superlattice layer, with Pt and NSTO serving as the top and bottom electrodes, respectively.

In this paper we investigate the electrical response response of amorphous complex oxide memristors under different electrical stimulation. With the help of transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, we observed that those devices stimulated with voltage display strong cationic segregation at the nanoscale together with the partial crystallization of the oxide layer. On the other hand, devices stimulated with current maintain their amorphous character with no significative chemical changes.
