Chapter 17: Working Dynamics in Low-dimensional Material-based Neuromorphic Devices

The exotic properties of low-dimensional materials have enabled brain-inspired computation to be unprecedently achieved in a variety of electronic and optoelectronic devices. With a plethora of highly efficient memory devices and architectures being developed lately for neuromorphic engineering and technology, the question of what types of materials and physical mechanisms will be used in futuristic neuromorphic devices is still open-ended. For this reason, a holistic understanding of the underlaying working dynamics is highly imperative to proceed forward. In this chapter, we present an overview of the various schemes of mechanisms for various configurations in state-of-the-art low-dimensional electronic and optoelectronic devices for neuromorphic hardware. Also, this chapter provides a forward-looking outlook on the challenges in this emerging field of research to drive next-generation advanced memory technologies for neuromorphic computing.
