Prof. Dr. Ilia Valov im Nature Materials-Interview: Material Considerations of Memristors at the Nanoscale
Prof. Dr. Ilia Valov spricht mit Nature Materials über den Zusammenhang zwischen nanoskaliger Struktur, Zusammensetzung, Elektrochemie sowie den Eigenschaften und Funktionalitäten von Memristoren.
For reliable progress of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies and applications, we need to develop abilities to process large data for a short time duration, ideally in real time, and at the lowest possible energy costs. Current computer architecture has provided advancement using complex hardware structure, but even with these advances, classical nanoelectronics has reached its physical limits as downscaling device sizes leads to reduced reliability owing to quantum tunnelling effects. Nanoionics-enhanced electronic devices offer an architectural platform to address these challenges. An example is electrochemical memristors — in these devices, ions are reversibly incorporated or removed from matter by applying a driving force (for example, voltage), thus changing its electronic conductivity or resistance.
