Graphene and related two dimensional (2D) materials have raised massive interest and investment during the last years. However, the amount of 2D-materials-based commercial devices available in the market is still very low. <\/p>\n
The research group led by Dr. Mario Lanza, a Young 1000 Talent Professor born in Barcelona (Spain) and based in Soochow University (China), is leading a global effort to investigate the properties of layered dielectrics. In their recent investigation, published in the journal 2D Materials<\/em>, Prof. Lanza and co-workers synthesized a resistive random access memory (RRAM) using graphene\/hexagonal-boron-nitride\/graphene (G\/h-BN\/G) van der Waals structures. Furthermore, they developed a compact model to accurately describe its functioning. The model is based on the nonlinear Landauer approach for mesoscopic conductors, in this case atomic-sized filaments formed within the 2D materials system. Besides providing excellent overall fitting results (which have been corroborated in log-log, log-linear and linear-linear plots), the model is able to explain the dispersion of the data obtained from cycle-to-cycle in terms of the particular features of the filamentary paths, mainly their confinement potential barrier height. <\/p>\n The development of theoretical models to describe the functioning of electronic devices is one essential step enabling device\/systems simulation, which is essential before device mass production. The device selected in this case, the RRAM device, is the most promising technology for future high-density information storage.\n<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Graphene and related two dimensional (2D) materials have raised massive interest and investment during the last years.
