Magnetic skyrmions have attracted considerable interest, especially after their recent experimental demonstration at room temperature in multilayers. The robustness, nanoscale size and non-volatility of skyrmions have triggered a substantial amount of research on skyrmion-based low-power, ultra-dense nanocomputing and neuromorphic systems such as artificial synapses. Room-temperature operation is required to integrate skyrmionic synapses in practical future devices. Here, we numerically propose a nanoscale skyrmionic synapse composed of magnetic multilayers that enables room-temperature device operation tailored for optimal synaptic resolution. We demonstrate that when embedding such multilayer skyrmionic synapses in a simple spiking neural network (SNN) with unsupervised learning via the spike-timing-dependent plasticity rule, we can achieve only a 78% classification accuracy in the MNIST handwritten data set under realistic conditions. We propose that this performance can be significantly improved to about 98.61% by using a deep SNN with supervised learning. Our results illustrate that the proposed skyrmionic synapse can be a potential candidate for future energy-efficient neuromorphic edge computing.

It was discovered in 2010 that Croconic Acid, in its crystal form, has the highest polarization among organic ferroelectrics. In the context of eliminating toxic substances from electronic devices, Croconic Acid has a great potential as a sublimable
lead-free ferroelectric. However, studies on ferroelectric properties of its thin films are only in their early stages and its capability to be incorporated in nanoscale devices is unknown. In this work, we demonstrate, upon ferroelectric switching at the nanoscale, stable and enduring room temperature polarization with no leakage current in Croconic Acid thin films. We thus show that it is a promising lead-free organic ferroelectric toward integration in nanoscale devices. The challenging switching current and polarization reversal characterization at the nanoscale was done using a unique combination of piezoresponse force microscopy, polarization switching current spectroscopy and the concurrent electromechanical strain response. Indeed, this combination can help to rationalize otherwise asymmetric polarization-voltage data and distorted hysteresis due to current jumps below the background noise, which are statistically washed away in macrojunctions but become prevalent at the nanoscale. These results are valid irrespective of the ferroelectrics nature, organic or inorganic. Beyond the potential of Croconic Acid as an ecological ferroelectric material in devices, our detection of a clear nanoscopic polarization switching current thus paves the way for a fundamental understanding and technological applications of the polarization reversal mechanism at the nanoscale.
Skyrmions are nanoscale spin configurations with topological properties that hold great promise for spintronic devices. Here, we establish their Neel texture, helicity, and size in Ir/Fe/Co/Pt multilayer films by constructing a multipole expansion to
model their stray field signatures and applying it to magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images. Furthermore, the demonstrated sensitivity to inhomogeneity in skyrmion properties, coupled with a unique capability to estimate the pinning force governing dynamics, portends broad applicability in the burgeoning field of topological spin textures.
The implementation of quantum networks involving quantum memories and photonic channels without the need for cryogenics would be a major technological breakthrough. Nitrogen-vacancy centers have excellent spin properties even at room temperature, but
phonon-induced broadening makes it challenging to interface these spins with photons at non-cryogenic temperatures. Inspired by recent progress in achieving ultra-high mechanical quality factors, we propose that this challenge can be overcome by spin-opto-mechanical transduction. We quantify the coherence of the interface by calculating the indistinguishability of the emitted photons and describe promising paths towards experimental implementation.
Powered by the mutual developments in instrumentation, materials andtheoretical descriptions, sensing and imaging capabilities of quantum emitters insolids have significantly increased in the past two decades. Quantum emitters insolids, whose propert
ies resemble those of atoms and ions, provide alternative waysto probing natural and artificial nanoscopic systems with minimum disturbance andultimate spatial resolution. Among those emerging quantum emitters, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in diamond is an outstanding example due to its intrinsicproperties at room temperature (highly-luminescent, photo-stable, biocompatible,highly-coherent spin states). This review article summarizes recent advances andachievements in using NV centers within nano- and single crystal diamonds in sensingand imaging. We also highlight prevalent challenges and material aspects for differenttypes of diamond and outline the main parameters to consider when using color centersas sensors. As a novel sensing resource, we highlight the properties of NV centersas light emitting electrical dipoles and their coupling to other nanoscale dipoles e.g.graphene.
We report quantitative measurements of nanoscale permittivity and conductivity using tuning-fork (TF) based microwave impedance microscopy (MIM). The system is operated under the driving amplitude modulation mode, which ensures satisfactory feedback
stability on samples with rough surfaces. The demodulated MIM signals on a series of bulk dielectrics are in good agreement with results simulated by finite-element analysis. Using the TF-MIM, we have visualized the evolution of nanoscale conductance on back-gated $MoS_2$ field effect transistors and the results are consistent with the transport data. Our work suggests that quantitative analysis of mesoscopic electrical properties can be achieved by near-field microwave imaging with small distance modulation.
