Gate-Tunable Neuromorphic Devices Enabled by Two-Dimensional Materials

Neuromorphic (i.e., brain-like) computing aims to circumvent the limitations of von Neumann architectures by spatially co-locating processor and memory blocks or even combining logic and data storage functions within the same device. Neuromorphic devices also have the potential to provide efficient architectures for image recognition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. With this motivation in mind, this paper will explore how the unique materials properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials enable opportunities for novel gate-tunable neuromorphic devices.
