Correlation between physical and neuromorphic properties of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys

Determine the correlation between the physical properties and neuromorphic properties of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys, to clarify how their material characteristics govern neuromorphic functionality.

Background

The paper identifies two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys as promising materials for optoelectronic and neuromorphic applications because of their strong light–matter interactions and controllable defect properties. However, although the study demonstrates optoelectronic synaptic behavior in large-area MoWS2 alloy films, it states that the broader relationship between the alloys’ physical characteristics and their neuromorphic performance is not yet understood. Establishing this correlation would help guide material and defect engineering for improved neuromorphic devices.

References

However, large-area growth of such alloys remains challenging, while the correlation between their physical and neuromorphic properties remains largely unclear.
