Conductive dendrite engineering of single-crystalline two-dimensional dielectric memristors by Yu Kang, Xingyu Zhai, Quan Yang, Baoshi Qiao, Zheng Bian, Haohan Chen, Huan Hu, Yang Xu, Ming Tian, Neng Wan, Wenchao Chen, Yang Chai, Yuda Zhao, Bin Yu

“…The conductive channel confinement in the vertical orientation contributes to long-retention non-volatile memristors with ultralow switch voltages (set: 26 mV; reset: −135 mV), excellent power efficiency (4 fW standby and a switching energy of 72 pJ) while keeping a high on/off resistance ratio of 108. Even at a record-low compliance current of 10 nA, memristors retains very robust non-volatile, multiple resistive states with an operating voltage less than 120 mV (the per-transition power low as 900 pW).…”
