Synaptic Devices Using Nanomaterials for Neuromorphic System

Dear Colleagues,

Neuromorphic system is actively being studied as an alternative to overcome the von Neumann data bottleneck. The weight update in synaptic devices including two-terminal and three-terminal types is very important for neuromorphic system on the hardware level. Low energy, a lot of multi-level conductance levels, high dynamic range, high endurance, long retention, and linear and symmetric weight updates are important requirements for a good synaptic device. By introducing nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, organic molecules, inorganic–organic hybrids and composites, ferroelectricity, alloy materials, quantum dots, graphene, 2D materials, as well as conventional oxide and nitride materials, the synaptic device’s performances can be enhanced. Synaptic devices include a transistor-type three-terminal, PRAM, MRAM, as well as two-terminal memristors for this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
