Abstract: Resistive switching devices that contain lithium, including resistive switching devices containing a lithium titanate, and associated systems and methods are generally described. In some cases, the resistive switching device contains a lithium titanate-containing domain, a first electrode, and a second electrode. In some cases, the application of an electrical potential to the resistive switching device causes a change in resistance state of the lithium titanate-containing domain. The resistive switching devices described herein may be useful as memristors, and in applications that include Resistive-random access memory and neuromorphic computing.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a self-selective multi-terminal memtransistor suitable for use in crossbar array circuits. In particular, the memtransistor comprises a sapphire substrate that has a single-layer of polycrystalline molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) thin film formed on the surface of the substrate, wherein the MoS2 thin film comprise MoS2 grains that are oriented along terraces provided on the surface of the substrate. The memtransistor has a drain electrode and a source electrode that is formed on the MoS2 thin film such that a channel is defined in the MoS2 thin film between the drain and source electrodes, and a gate electrode formed above the channel, whereby the gate electrode is isolated from the channel by a gate dielectric layer.
