Insights of BDAPbI-Based Flexible Memristor for Artificial Synapses and In-Memory Computing.

Inspired by brain-like spiking computational frameworks, neuromorphic computing-brain-inspired computing for machine intelligence promises to realize artificial intelligence (AI) while reducing the energy requirements of computing platforms. In this work, we show the potential of advanced learnings of butane-1,4-diammonium based low-dimensional Dion-Jacobson hybrid perovskite (BDAPbI) memristor devices in the realm of artificial synapses and neuromorphic computing. Memristors validate Hebbian learning rules with various spike-dependent plasticity within a 10 ± 2 ms time frame, reminiscent of the human brains under flat and bending conditions (∼5 mm radium). A high recognition accuracy of ∼94% of handwritten images from the MNIST database via an artificial neural network (ANN) is achieved with only 50 epochs. An efficient demonstration of second-order memristors and the Pavlovian dog experiment exhibit significant promise in expediting learning and memory consolidation. To showcase the in-memory computing potential, a flexible 4 × 4 crossbar array is designed with measured data retention up to ∼10 s along with 26 multilevel resistance states. The crossbar array is successfully programmed for the facile configurability of image "Z". In conclusion, the integration of supervised, unsupervised, and associative learning holds great promise across a spectrum of future technologies, ranging from the realm of spiking neural networks to neuromorphic computing, brain-machine interfaces, and adaptive control systems.
