Abstract
Opportunities of Thermal Probe in Neuromorphic Devices
Since the inventions of scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope in 1980s, nanoscale imaging and manipulation capabilities have been greatly revolutionized. Particularly, scanning probe lithography has emerged as alternative subtractive/additive nanofabrication approaches, such as dip-pen nanolithography and thermal probe lithography.
At Westlake University, our group investigates the fundamentals and applications of scanning probe technology and demonstrates unique phenomena and functional nanodevices for neuromorphic computing. In this presentation, I will introduce our recent findings in scanning probe-based fabrication, in-situ characterization and manipulation of novel materials and platforms. Unique phenomena and functional nanodevices in electronics and photonics have been achieved for neuromorphic computing, such as resistive switching, low-dimensional ferroelectrics, logic-in-memory, and dynamic light-matter interactions.
