Summary: Resistive random-access memory provides dual functionalities of data storage and computing at the same position, making it a promising candidate for energy efficient neuromorphic computing. The key points to realize neuromorphic computing include selection of functional materials, design of multistate devices, and complete logic function implementation in-memory computing. A memristor device with stable intermediate multistate resistive switching behaviors has been demonstrated, which enables simulated pixel data storage and 2-bit parallel logic computations for neuromorphic computing.

Summary: In order to comprehend the relationship between structure and property as well as the significance of the donor-acceptor system in resistive memory devices, a series of new organic small molecules were designed and synthesized. The devices with A-N-D-N-A structures exhibited write-once-read-many memory behavior, while those based on D-N-D-N-D molecules only showed conductor property. The presence of donor/acceptor substituents significantly influenced the memory-switching behavior, suggesting that a D-A architecture is ideal for resistance switching characteristics in memory devices.

Summary: In this study, the interaction between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and two-dimensional material molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with different mixing ratios was investigated. The optimal ratio of PVA:MoS2 was determined to be 4:1, presenting excellent resistive switching behavior. Additionally, the resistive switching performance was greatly improved by inserting a protective layer of ZnO between the electrode and the composite film. The proposed nanostructured Ag/ZnO/PVA:MoS2/ITO device shows great potential for nonvolatile multilevel data storage memory.

Summary: A family of rudorffites based on silver-bismuth-iodide undergoes a transition from positive photoconductivity (PPC) to negative photoconductivity (NPC) with variation in precursor stoichiometry. The NPC is observed in silver-rich rudorffites due to illumination-induced trap-states leading to carrier recombination and decreased conductivity. In addition to photoconductivity, the rudorffite-based devices exhibit resistive switching between high resistive state (HRS) and low resistive state (LRS) under voltage pulses, and the switching process is reversible and associated with a memory phenomenon. The NPC-exhibiting rudorffites also switch to the HRS under illumination, indicating control of resistive state through electrical and optical inputs. These interesting properties are utilized to demonstrate OR logic gate operation and suggest the materials' potential for in-memory logic operations.

Summary: The DC conductivity and switching phenomenon of Se-36 Sb31Cu33 non-ordered material were studied at various temperatures below the corresponding glass transition temperature T-g. The study found that the conduction activation energy had dual values, the switching phenomenon exhibited memory behavior, and the mean value of the threshold voltage V-th varied with film thickness and temperature. The results were in agreement with the thermal model for the switching process.
