研究目的
Investigating the emergence of memristive behavior in amorphous–crystalline 2D oxide heterostructures and understanding the conduction mechanism based on oxygen vacancy conductive channels.
研究成果
The study demonstrated high-performance memristive switching in heterostructures consisting of atomically thin ZnO coated with amorphous Al2O3 by ALD. The memristive behavior arises from high-speed drift of oxygen vacancies in the ZnO created by the Al2O3, offering a new route for realizing high-performance memristor devices using 2D oxide heterostructures.
研究不足
The study is limited by the technical constraints of ALD and the challenges in introducing vacancies in 2D confined geometry. Potential areas for optimization include reducing the operation voltage and energy consumption.
