We present a transparent memristor with a rough-surface (RS) bottom electrode (BE) with enhanced performance and reliability for a gasistor, which is a gas sensor plus a memristor, and its application in this paper. The transparent memristor, with an RS BE, exhibited low forming voltages (0.8 V) and a stable resistive switching behavior, with high endurance and an on/off ratio of about 125. This improvement is due to the better control of the electric field distribution and the oxygen vacancy concentration when applying the RS BE to transparent memristors. Maintaining the stability of the conducting filament in an ambient air environment for extended periods of time is crucial for the application of memristors as gasistors. The memristor with an RS BE demonstrates an ability to sustain a stable-current state for approximately 10 s. As a result, it is shown that the proposed transparent memristor with an RS BE can significantly enhance the device's reliability for gasistor applications.

Thin films fabricated from solution-processed graphene nanosheets are of considerable technological interest for a wide variety of applications, such as transparent conductors, supercapacitors, and memristors. However, very thin printed films tend to have low conductivity compared to thicker ones. In this work, we demonstrate a simple layer-by-layer deposition method which yields thin films of highly-aligned, electrochemically-exfoliated graphene which have low roughness and nanometer-scale thickness control.

Memristors enable non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing. Optical memristors are the fundamental element for programmable photonic integrated circuits due to their high-bandwidth computing, low crosstalk, and minimal power consumption. Here, an optical memristor enabled by a non-volatile electro-optic (EO) effect, where refractive index modulation under zero field is realized by deliberate control of domain alignment in the ferroelectric material Pb(MgNb)O-PbTiO(PMN-PT) is proposed.

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.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the influence of high-frequency magnetron sputtering power on the structural and electrophysical properties of nanocrystalline ZnO films. It is shown that at a magnetron sputtering power of 75 W in an argon atmosphere at room temperature, ZnO films have a relatively smooth surface and a uniform nanocrystalline structure. Based on the results obtained, the formation and study of resistive switching of transparent ITO/ZnO/ITO memristor structures as well as a crossbar array based on them were performed.
