Nonvolatile Memristive Effect in Few-Layer CrI3 Driven by Electrostatic Gating
NANO LETTERS(2023)
摘要
The potential of memristive devices for applications in nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing has sparked considerable interest, particularly in exploring memristive effects in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials. However, the progress in developing nonvolatile, magnetic field-free memristive devices using 2D magnets has been limited. In this work, we report an electrostatic-gating-induced nonvolatile memristive effect in CrI3-based tunnel junctions. The few-layer CrI3-based tunnel junction manifests notable hysteresis in its tunneling resistance as a function of gate voltage. We further engineered a nonvolatile memristor using the CrI3 tunneling junction with low writing power and at zero magnetic field. We show that the hysteretic transport observed is not a result of trivial effects or inherent magnetic properties of CrI3. We propose a potential association between the memristive effect and the newly predicted ferroelectricity in CrI3 via gating-induced Jahn-Teller distortion. Our work illuminates the potential of 2D magnets in developing next-generation advanced computing technologies.
