During the last half century, tremendous development of computers based on von Neumann architecture has led to revolution information technology. However, are outperformed by mammal brain in numerous data‐processing applications such as pattern recognition and data mining. Neuromorphic engineering aims mimic brain‐like behavior through implementation artificial neural networks combination a large number neurons massively interconnected an even larger synapses. In order effectively implement...
Resistive random access memories (ReRAM) form an emerging type of non‐volatile memories, based on electrically driven resistive switching (RS) active material. This Feature Article focuses a broad class ReRAM where the material is Mott insulator or correlated system. These materials can indeed undergo various insulator‐to‐metal transitions (IMT) in response to external perturbations such as electronic doping temperature. IMT explain most observed insulators as, for example, Joule heating...
One of today's most exciting research frontier and challenge in condensed matter physics is known as Mottronics, whose goal to incorporate strong correlation effects into the realm electronics. In fact, taming Mott insulator-to-metal transition (IMT), which driven by electronic effects, holds promise a commutation speed set quantum transition, with negligible power dissipation. this context, one possible route control electrostatically dope systems using dielectrics, FET-like devices....

A major challenge in the field of neurocomputing is to mimic brain's behavior by implementing artificial synapses and neurons directly hardware.

The AM4Q8 family of chalcogenide Mott insulator compounds exhibit an electric pulse induced resistive switching that could be used in data storage applications as memories. Depending on the applied field, this transition is either volatile or non-volatile. This study demonstrates theory established for can to understand non-volatile transition.

Mott insulators exhibit an electric-field-induced insulator-metal transition, which may be used to implement artificial neurons. This work focuses on the poorly understood relaxation of (filamentary) metallic state back insulating state. Extending their previous model ``leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron'' include electroelastic effects, authors show that strong electrical pulsing increase time by thickening filaments. Numerical simulations agree qualitatively with recent experiments. sheds...
Resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) made of organic materials has recently received much attention for application in flexible devices. In the latter, resistive switching is usually obtained thanks to electrochemical effects or charge trapping.

Electric pulses exceeding threshold field few kilovolts/centimeter induce volatile...
Nowadays, materials science is moving towards the understanding and control of in nonequilibrium states by making use perturbative techniques to investigate their dynamical responses. From this perspective, ultrashort light pulses seems be a relevant approach as it can selectively address different degrees freedom solid-state systems more particularly electrons.
