Janus materials are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials with a diversity of two exclusive sides, which embark on various new multifunctional properties for electronics, optoelectronics, and memory application devices. Evolving technologies like neuromorphic computing based on floating-gate transistors, architecting an advanced artificial intelligence technology (AIT) to emulate efficient brain-like synaptic functions. In this study, we present an emerging memory design using Au/hBN/WSSe and Gr/hBN/WSSe heterostructures on the same WSSe channel, where gold and graphene serve as floating-gate materials and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as an effective tunneling layer.
By comparing the performance metrics based on device configurations under controlled conditions, we achieved a current ON/OFF ratio (~105 ) and (~103 ) for Au and few layer graphene as floating gates, respectively. The memory devices with Gr floating gate demonstrated the significant and consistent memory window of ΔV = 65 V compared to Au (ΔV = 51 V). Further, Gr/hBN/WSSe showed promising endurance (105 cycles) and retention (106 s), having gate-dependent multi-states for erase and program. Moreover, we used an artificial neural network (ANN) for digit-MNIST and Fashion-MNIST simulations, which achieved 87% and 78% accuracy, respectively. Simulations of WSSe-based synaptic transistors further demonstrate their capability to support ANN learning, underscoring the potential of this platform to drive next generation AIT for memory and computing systems.
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.
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.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
