Non-volatile resistive switching is demonstrated in memristors with nanocrystalline molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) as the active material. The vertical heterostructures consist of silicon, vertically aligned MoS$_2$ and chrome / gold metal electrodes. Electrical characterizations reveal a bipolar and forming free switching process with stable retention for at least 2500 seconds. Controlled experiments carried out in ambient and vacuum conditions suggest that the observed resistive switching is based on hydroxyl ions (OH$^-$). These originate from catalytic splitting of adsorbed water molecules by MoS$_2$. Experimental results in combination with analytical simulations further suggest that electric field driven movement of the mobile OH$^-$ ions along the vertical MoS$_2$ layers influences the energy barrier at the Si/MoS$_2$ interface. The scalable and semiconductor production compatible device fabrication process used in this work offers the opportunity to integrate such memristors into existing silicon technology for future neuromorphic applications. The observed ion-based plasticity may be exploited in ionicelectronic devices based on TMDs and other 2D materials for memristive applications.

Progress in integrated nanophotonics has enabled large-scale programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for general-purpose electronic-photonic systems on a chip. Relying on the weak, volatile thermo-optic or electro-optic effects, such systems
usually exhibit limited reconfigurability along with high energy consumption and large footprints. These challenges can be addressed by resorting to chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) such as Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) that provide substantial optical contrast in a self-holding fashion upon phase transitions. However, current PCM-based integrated photonic applications are limited to single devices or simple PICs due to the poor scalability of the optical or electrical self-heating actuation approaches. Thermal-conduction heating via external electrical heaters, instead, allows large-scale integration and large-area switching, but fast and energy-efficient electrical control is yet to show. Here, we model electrical switching of GST-clad integrated nanophotonic structures with graphene heaters based on the programmable GST-on-silicon platform. Thanks to the ultra-low heat capacity and high in-plane thermal conductivity of graphene, the proposed structures exhibit a high switching speed of ~80 MHz and high energy efficiency of 19.2 aJ/nm^3 (6.6 aJ/nm^3) for crystallization (amorphization) while achieving complete phase transitions to ensure strong attenuation (~6.46 dB/micron) and optical phase (~0.28 dB/micron at 1550 nm) modulation. Compared with indium tin oxide and silicon p-i-n heaters, the structures with graphene heaters display two orders of magnitude higher figure of merits for heating and overall performance. Our work facilitates the analysis and understanding of the thermal-conduction heating-enabled phase transitions on PICs and supports the development of the future large-scale PCM-based electronic-photonic systems.
The increasing demand for high-density data storage leads to an increasing interest in novel memory concepts with high scalability and the opportunity of storing multiple bits in one cell. A promising candidate is the redox-based resistive switch rep
ositing the information in form of different resistance states. For reliable programming, the underlying physical parameters need to be understood. We reveal that the programmable resistance states are linked to internal series resistances and the fundamental nonlinear switching kinetics. The switching kinetics of Ta$_{2}$O$_{5}$-based cells was investigated in a wide range over 15 orders of magnitude from 250 ps to 10$^{5}$ s. We found strong evidence for a switching speed of 10 ps which is consistent with analog electronic circuit simulations. On all time scales, multi-bit data storage capabilities were demonstrated. The elucidated link between fundamental material properties and multi-bit data storage paves the way for designing resistive switches for memory and neuromorphic applications.
Here we study the resistive switching (RS) effect that emerges when ferroelectric BaTiO$_{3}$ (BTO) and few-layers MoSe$_{2}$ are combined in one single structure. The C-V loops reveal the ferroelectric nature of both Al/Si/SiO$_{x}$/BTO/Au and Al/Si
/SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$/BTO/Au structures and the high quality of the SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$ interface in the Al/Si/SiOx/MoSe$_{2}$/Au structure. Al/Si/SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$/BTO/Au hybrid structures show the electroforming free resistive switching that is explained on the basis of the modulation of the potential distribution at the MoSe$_{2}$/BTO interface via ferroelectric polarization flipping. This structure shows promising resistive switching characteristics with switching ratio of $approx{}$10$^{2}$ and a stable memory window, which are highly required for memory applications.
Analogous to conventional charge-based electronics, valleytronics aims at encoding data via the valley degree of freedom, enabling new routes for information processing. Long-lived interlayer excitons (IXs) in van der Waals heterostructures (HSs) sta
cked by transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) carry valley-polarized information and thus could find promising applications in valleytronic devices. Although great progress of studies on valleytronic devices has been achieved, nonvolatile valleytronic memory, an indispensable device in valleytronics, is still lacking up to date. Here, we demonstrate an IX-based nonvolatile valleytronic memory in a WS2/WSe2 HS. In this device, the emission characteristics of IXs exhibit a large excitonic/valleytronic hysteresis upon cyclic-voltage sweeping, which is ascribed to the chemical-doping of O2/H2O redox couple trapped between the TMDs and substrate. Taking advantage of the large hysteresis, the first nonvolatile valleytronic memory has been successfully made, which shows a good performance with retention time exceeding 60 minutes. These findings open up an avenue for nonvolatile valleytronic memory and could stimulate more investigations on valleytronic devices.
Molybdenum disulfide has recently emerged as a promising two-dimensional semiconducting material for nano-electronic, opto-electronic and spintronic applications. However, demonstrating spin-transport through a semiconducting MoS2 channel is challeng
ing. Here we demonstrate the electrical spin injection and detection in a multilayer MoS2 semiconducting channel. A magnetoresistance (MR) around 1% has been observed at low temperature through a 450nm long, 6 monolayer thick channel with a Co/MgO spin injector and detector. From a systematic study of the bias voltage, temperature and back-gate voltage dependence of MR, it is found that the hopping via localized states in the contact depletion region plays a key role for the observation of the two-terminal MR. Moreover, the electron spin-relaxation is found to be greatly suppressed in the multilayer MoS2 channel for in-plan spin injection. The underestimated long spin diffusion length (~235nm) and large spin lifetime (~46ns) open a new avenue for spintronic applications using multilayer transition metal dichalcogenides.
