Neuromorphic computing has attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its impressive capabilities to address the inherent limitations of conventional integrated circuit technology, ranging from perception, pattern recognition to memory and decision-making. Inspired by the morphology and function of 10¹⁴synapses in mammalian brain, silicon-based asynchronous spiking neural networks (SNNs) have ushered in an era of developing non-volatile resistive switching as memristors for artificial intelligence systems. Despite its low power consumption, high endurance and fast read/write time, two-terminal memristor suffers from the singular function and the lack of heterosynaptic plasticity, similar to the conditioned reflex of human beings. Inspired by advanced unconditioned reflex, multi-terminal memristive transistors (memtransistors) were developed to realize complex functions, such as multi-factors modulation and heterosynaptic plasticity. Here, we report the development of hybrid memtransistors, modulable by multiple physical inputs (light, field and electric bias), using hybrid perovskite and conjugated polymer heterojunction channels processed from solution-phase at room temperature. The devices exhibit non-volatile but highly reversible conductance modulation due to I^-(Br^-) ions migration which result to the formation of a tunable Schottky barrier at the injecting electrode interface. Meanwhile, the memtransistors show excellent gate tunability of six orders of magnitudes with large switching ratios (10²), high endurance (>10²times) and long-term retention. Furthermore, photo-induced halides redistribution results in light plasticity of the polymer passivated perovskite memtransistor, which may be applicable in image identification and pattern recognition. Lastly, use of in situ scanning Kelvin probe microscopy and variable temperature measurement reveal the kinetics of the all-important bias- and photo-induced halide ions migration across the channel. Overall, the multi-physical input parameter memtransistor could enable the development of complex neuromorphic system capable of combining electrical with optical signals from the near-infrared to gamma rays.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.

MATSUS

Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.

Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics

The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
