We report the charge storing 2D carbon nitride potassium poly(heptazine imide), K-PHI, as a direct memristive (bio)sensing platform. Memristive devices have the potential to innovate current (bio)electronic systems such as photo-electrochemical sensors by incorporating new sensing capabilities including non-invasive, wireless remote and time-delayed (memory) readout. We demonstrate a direct photomemristive sensing platform that capitalizes on K PHIs visible light bandgap, large oxidation potential and intrinsic optoionic light energy storage properties. Our system simultaneously enables analyte concentration information storage as well as potentiometric, impedimetric and coulo-metric readouts on the same material, with no additional reagents required. Utilizing the light-induced charge storage function of K-PHI, we demonstrate analyte sensing via charge accumulation and present various methods to write/erase this information from the material. Additionally, fully wireless colorimetric and fluorometric detection of the charged state of K-PHI is demonstrated and could facilitate its use as particle-based in-situ sensing probe. The various readout options of the K PHIs response enable us to adapt the sensitivities and dynamic ranges without modifying the sensor. We demonstrate these features using glucose as an example analyte over a wide range of concentrations (50 $mu$M to 50 mM). Moreover, due to the strong oxidative power of K-PHI, this sensing platform is able to detect a large variety of organic or biologically relevant analytes. Since PHI is easily synthesized, based on earth abundant precursors, biocompatible, chemically robust and responsive to visible light, we anticipate that the sensing platform presented herein opens up novel memristive and neuromorphic functions.

We have characterized the conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNT) fibers enriched in semiconducting species as a function of temperature and pulsed laser irradiation of 266 nm wavelength. While at high temperatures the response approaches an Arrhenius law behavior, from room temperature down to 4.2 K the response can be framed, quantitatively, within the predictions of the fluctuation induced tunneling which occurs between the inner fibrils (bundles) of the samples and/or the elementary CNTs constituting the fibers. Laser irradiation induces an enhancement of the conductivity, and analysis of the resulting data confirms the (exponential) dependence of the potential barrier upon temperature as expected from the fluctuation induced tunneling model. A thermal map of the experimental configuration consisting of laser-irradiated fibers is also obtained via COMSOL simulations in order to rule out bare heating phenomena as the background of our experiments.

2D quantum confined hybrid materials are of great interest from a solid state physics standpoint because of the rich multibody phenomena hosted, their tunability and easy synthesis allowing to create material libraries. In addition, from a technologi cal standpoint, 2D hybrids are promising candidates for efficient, tunable, low cost materials impacting a broad range of optoelectronic devices. Different approaches and materials have therefore been investigated, with the notable example of 2D metal halide hybrid perovskites. Despite the remarkable properties of such materials, the presence of toxic elements like lead are not desirable in applications and their ionic lattices may represent a limiting factor for stability under operating conditions. Alternative, non-ionic 2D materials made of non-toxic elements are therefore desirable. In order to expand the library of possible hybrid quantum wells materials, here we consider an alternative platform based on non-toxic, self-assembled, metal-organic chalcogenides. While the optical properties have been recently explored and some unique excitonic characters highlighted, photo-generation of carriers and their transport in these lamellar inorganic/organic nanostructures, critical optoelectronic aspects, remain totally unexplored. We hereby report the first electrical investigation of the air-stable [AgSePh] 2D coordination polymer in form of nanocrystal (NC) films readily synthesized in situ and at low temperature, compatible with flexible plastic substrates. The wavelength-dependent photo-response of the NC films suggests possible use of this materials as near-UV photodetector. We therefore built a lateral photo-detector, achieving a sensitivity of 0.8 A/W at 370 nm thanks to a photoconduction mechanism, and a cutoff frequency of ~400 Hz, and validated its reliability as air-stable UV detector on flexible substrates.
Solution-processed networks of semiconducting, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted considerable attention as materials for next-generation electronic devices and circuits. However, the impact of the SWCNT network composition on cha rge transport on a microscopic level remains an open and complex question. Here, we use charge-modulated absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy to probe exclusively the mobile charge carriers in monochiral (6,5) and mixed SWCNT network field-effect transistors. Ground state bleaching and charge-induced trion absorption features, as well as exciton quenching are observed depending on applied voltage and modulation frequency. Through correlation of the modulated mobile carrier density and the optical response of the nanotubes, we find that charge transport in mixed SWCNT networks depends strongly on the diameter and thus bandgap of the individual species. Mobile charges are preferentially transported by small bandgap SWCNTs especially at low gate voltages, whereas large bandgap species only start to participate at higher carrier concentrations. Our results demonstrate the excellent suitability of modulation spectroscopy to investigate charge transport in nanotube network transistors and highlight the importance of SWCNT network composition for their performance.
Computing inspired by the human brain requires a massive parallel architecture of low-power consuming elements of which the internal state can be changed. SrTiO3 is a complex oxide that offers rich electronic properties; here Schottky contacts on Nb- doped SrTiO3 are demonstrated as memristive elements for neuromorphic computing. The electric field at the Schottky interface alters the conductivity of these devices in an analog fashion, which is important for mimicking synaptic plasticity. Promising power consumption and endurance characteristics are observed. The resistance states are shown to emulate the forgetting process of the brain. A charge trapping model is proposed to explain the switching behavior.
The interaction of Love waves with square array of pillars deposited on a cavity defined in a 2D holey phononic crystal is numerically investigated using Finite Element Method. First, the existence of SH surface modes is demonstrated separately for p hononic crystals that consist of square arrayed holes, or rectangular arrayed Ni pillars, respectively in, or on, a SiO2 film deposited on a ST-cut quartz substrate. The coupling between SH modes and torsional mode in pillars induces a transmission dip that occurs at a frequency located in the range of the band-gap of the holey phononic crystal. Second, a cavity is constructed by removing lines of holes in the holey phononic crystal and results in a transmission peak that matches the dip. The optimal geometrical parameters enable us to create a coupling of the cavity mode and the localized pillar mode by introducing lines of pillars into the cavity, which significantly improved the efficiency of the cavity without increasing the crystal size. The obtained results will pave the way to implement advanced designs of high-performance electroacoustic sensors based on coupling modes in phononic crystals.
