Resistive Switching and Charge Transport in Laser-Fabricated Graphene Oxide Memristors: A Time Series and Quantum Point Contact Modeling Approach.

ABSTRACT: This work investigates the sources of resistive switching (RS) in recently reported laser-fabricated graphene oxide memristors by means of two numerical analysis tools linked to the Time Series Statistical Analysis and the use of the Quantum Point Contact Conduction model. The application of both numerical procedures points to the existence of a filament connecting the electrodes that may be interrupted at a precise point within the conductive path, resulting in resistive switching phenomena. These results support the existing model attributing the memristance of laser-fabricated graphene oxide memristors to the modification of a conductive path stoichiometry inside the graphene oxide.

Luminescent graphene quantum dots fabricated by pulsed laser synthesis.

Project description:Graphene has been the subject of intense research in recent years due to its unique electrical, optical and mechanical properties. Furthermore, it is expected that quantum dots of graphene would make their way into devices due to their structure and composition which unify graphene and quantum dots properties. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are planar nano flakes with a few atomic layers thick and with a higher surface-to-volume ratio than spherical carbon dots (CDs) of the same size. We have developed a pulsed laser synthesis (PLS) method for the synthesis of GQDs that are soluble in water, measure 2-6 nm across, and are about 1-3 layers thick. They show strong intrinsic fluorescence in the visible region. The source of fluorescence can be attributed to various factors, such as: quantum confinement, zigzag edge structure, and surface defects. Confocal microscopy images of bacteria exposed to GQDs show their suitability as biomarkers and nano-probes in high contrast bioimaging.

Transformation of threshold volatile switching to quantum point contact originated nonvolatile switching in graphene interface controlled memory devices.

Project description:Resistive switching devices based on binary transition metal oxides have been widely investigated. However, these devices invariably manifest threshold switching characteristics when the active metal electrode is silver, the dielectric layer is hafnium oxide and platinum is used as the bottom electrode, and have a relatively low compliance current (<100 μA). Here we developed a way to transform an Ag-based hafnium oxide selector into quantum-contact originated memory with a low compliance current, in which a graphene interface barrier layer is inserted between the silver electrode and hafnium oxide layer. Devices with structure Ag/HfO x /Pt acts as a bipolar selector with a high selectivity of >108 and sub-threshold swing of ∼1 mV dec-1. After introducing a graphene interface barrier, high stress dependent (forming at +3 V) formation of localized conducting filaments embodies stable nonvolatile memory characteristics with low set/reset voltages (<±1.0 V), low reset power (6 μW) and multi-level potential. Grain boundaries of the graphene interface control the type of switching in the devices. A good barrier can switch the Ag-based volatile selector into Ag-based nonvolatile memory.

Graphene quantum point contact transistor for DNA sensing.

Project description:By using the nonequilibrium Green's function technique, we show that the shape of the edge, the carrier concentration, and the position and size of a nanopore in graphene nanoribbons can strongly affect its electronic conductance as well as its sensitivity to external charges. This technique, combined with a self-consistent Poisson-Boltzmann formalism to account for ion charge screening in solution, is able to detect the rotational and positional conformation of a DNA strand inside the nanopore. In particular, we show that a graphene membrane with quantum point contact geometry exhibits greater electrical sensitivity than a uniform armchair geometry provided that the carrier concentration is tuned to enhance charge detection. We propose a membrane design that contains an electrical gate in a configuration similar to a field-effect transistor for a graphene-based DNA sensing device.

Point contact resistive switching memory based on self-formed interface of Al/ITO.

Project description:Point contact resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) has been achieved by directly sputtering Al electrodes on indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glasses. The room-temperature deposited Al/ITO shows an asymmetrical bipolar resistive switching (BRS) behavior after a process of initialization which induces a stable high resistive state (HRS). It might be caused by the in-situ formation of an ultra-thin layer (≈4 nm) at the interface. By comparison, the Al/ITO device after vacuum annealed exhibits typical symmetrical BRS without an initiation or electroforming process. This can be ascribed to the ex-situ thickening of the interfacial layer (≈9.2 nm) to achieve the stable HRS after heat treatment. This work suggests that the self-formed interface of active Al electrode/ITO would provide the simplest geometry to construct RRAM.

Thermal Compact Modeling and Resistive Switching Analysis in Titanium Oxide-Based Memristors.

Project description:Resistive switching devices based on the Au/Ti/TiO2/Au stack were developed. In addition to standard electrical characterization by means of I-V curves, scanning thermal microscopy was employed to localize the hot spots on the top device surface (linked to conductive nanofilaments, CNFs) and perform in-operando tracking of temperature in such spots. In this way, electrical and thermal responses can be simultaneously recorded and related to each other. In a complementary way, a model for device simulation (based on COMSOL Multiphysics) was implemented in order to link the measured temperature to simulated device temperature maps. The data obtained were employed to calculate the thermal resistance to be used in compact models, such as the Stanford model, for circuit simulation. The thermal resistance extraction technique presented in this work is based on electrical and thermal measurements instead of being indirectly supported by a single fitting of the electrical response (using just I-V curves), as usual. Besides, the set and reset voltages were calculated from the complete I-V curve resistive switching series through different automatic numerical methods to assess the device variability. The series resistance was also obtained from experimental measurements, whose value is also incorporated into a compact model enhanced version.

Tunable graphene quantum point contact transistor for DNA detection and characterization.

Project description:A graphene membrane conductor containing a nanopore in a quantum point contact geometry is a promising candidate to sense, and potentially sequence, DNA molecules translocating through the nanopore. Within this geometry, the shape, size, and position of the nanopore as well as the edge configuration influences the membrane conductance caused by the electrostatic interaction between the DNA nucleotides and the nanopore edge. It is shown that the graphene conductance variations resulting from DNA translocation can be enhanced by choosing a particular geometry as well as by modulating the graphene Fermi energy, which demonstrates the ability to detect conformational transformations of a double-stranded DNA, as well as the passage of individual base pairs of a single-stranded DNA molecule through the nanopore.

Quantum memristors.

Project description:Technology based on memristors, resistors with memory whose resistance depends on the history of the crossing charges, has lately enhanced the classical paradigm of computation with neuromorphic architectures. However, in contrast to the known quantized models of passive circuit elements, such as inductors, capacitors or resistors, the design and realization of a quantum memristor is still missing. Here, we introduce the concept of a quantum memristor as a quantum dissipative device, whose decoherence mechanism is controlled by a continuous-measurement feedback scheme, which accounts for the memory. Indeed, we provide numerical simulations showing that memory effects actually persist in the quantum regime. Our quantization method, specifically designed for superconducting circuits, may be extended to other quantum platforms, allowing for memristor-type constructions in different quantum technologies. The proposed quantum memristor is then a building block for neuromorphic quantum computation and quantum simulations of non-Markovian systems.

Asymmetry-induced resistive switching in Ag-Ag2S-Ag memristors enabling a simplified atomic-scale memory design.

Project description:Prevailing models of resistive switching arising from electrochemical formation of conducting filaments across solid state ionic conductors commonly attribute the observed polarity of the voltage-biased switching to the sequence of the active and inert electrodes confining the resistive switching memory cell. Here we demonstrate stable switching behaviour in metallic Ag-Ag2S-Ag nanojunctions at room temperature exhibiting similar characteristics. Our experimental results and numerical simulations reveal that the polarity of the switchings is solely determined by the geometrical asymmetry of the electrode surfaces. By the lithographical design of a proof of principle device we demonstrate the merits of simplified fabrication of atomic-scale, robust planar Ag2S memory cells.

Artificial Neuron using Vertical MoS<sub>2</sub>/Graphene Threshold Switching Memristors.

Project description:With the ever-increasing demand for low power electronics, neuromorphic computing has garnered huge interest in recent times. Implementing neuromorphic computing in hardware will be a severe boost for applications involving complex processes such as image processing and pattern recognition. Artificial neurons form a critical part in neuromorphic circuits, and have been realized with complex complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry in the past. Recently, metal-insulator-transition materials have been used to realize artificial neurons. Although memristors have been implemented to realize synaptic behavior, not much work has been reported regarding the neuronal response achieved with these devices. In this work, we use the volatile threshold switching behavior of a vertical-MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterojunction system to produce the integrate-and-fire response of a neuron. We use large area chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene and MoS2, enabling large scale realization of these devices. These devices can emulate the most vital properties of a neuron, including the all or nothing spiking, the threshold driven spiking of the action potential, the post-firing refractory period of a neuron and strength modulated frequency response. These results show that the developed artificial neuron can play a crucial role in neuromorphic computing.

Self-assembled nanostructured resistive switching memory devices fabricated by templated bottom-up growth.

Project description:Metal-oxide-based resistive switching memory device has been studied intensively due to its potential to satisfy the requirements of next-generation memory devices. Active research has been done on the materials and device structures of resistive switching memory devices that meet the requirements of high density, fast switching speed, and reliable data storage. In this study, resistive switching memory devices were fabricated with nano-template-assisted bottom up growth. The electrochemical deposition was adopted to achieve the bottom-up growth of nickel nanodot electrodes. Nickel oxide layer was formed by oxygen plasma treatment of nickel nanodots at low temperature. The structures of fabricated nanoscale memory devices were analyzed with scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope (AFM). The electrical characteristics of the devices were directly measured using conductive AFM. This work demonstrates the fabrication of resistive switching memory devices using self-assembled nanoscale masks and nanomateirals growth from bottom-up electrochemical deposition.
