Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We demonstrate a lithium (Li) imbued TiO x iontronic device that exhibits synapse-like short-term plasticity behavior without requiring a forming process beforehand or a compliance current during switching. A solid-state electrolyte lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) behaves as the ion source, and the embedding and releasing of Li ions inside the cathodic like TiO x renders volatile conductance responses from the device and offers a natural platform for hardware simulating neuron functionalities. Besides, these devices possess high uniformity and great endurance as no conductive filaments are present. Different short-term pulse-based phenomena, including paired pulse facilitation, post-tetanic potentiation, and spike rate-dependent plasticity, were observed with self-relaxation characteristics. Based on the voltage excitation period, the time scale of the volatile memory can be tuned. Temperature measurement reveals the ion displacement-induced conductance channels become frozen below 220 K. In addition, the volatile analog devices can be configured into nonvolatile memory units with multibit storage capabilities after an electroforming process. Therefore, on the same platform, we can configure volatile units as nonlinear dynamic reservoirs for performing neuromorphic training and the nonvolatile units as the weight storage layer. We proceed to use voice recognition as an example with the tunable time constant relationship and obtain 94.4% accuracy with a minimal training data set. Thus, this iontronic platform can effectively process and update temporal information for reservoir and neuromorphic computing paradigms.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
