Abstract:
One paradigm for nanoelectronics involves building transistor networks
and transistor and memory components from thin films containing random
or ordered networks of molecules, carbon nanotubes, nanowires,
nanoparticles, and organic films. Components and links formed in such
networks can show variety of useful non-linear effects. A recent
example is the "memristor" (memory transistor) promoted by
Hewlett-Packard. In this talk we will describe a number of recent
theoretical and experimental approaches to achieve digital and analog
computational functionality in such networks, and briefly describe of
our recent research toward neuromorphic computing.
