Metal oxide films for ultralow energy memristive devices

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

New ultralow power NVM is central to all aspects of energy efficient, high performance computing. The very broad range of applications requiring high performance NVM are shown in above. The need for higher performance computing is partly driven by the huge amount and continuing huge growth in data storage and movement, which cuts across all industry sectors (medical, transport, communications, entertainment, military, security). Such efficiency cannot come from processing as Moore's law reaches an end and new processor technologies are not yet being established. The biggest performance and energy saving gains will be in memory. Broadly, the PhD project will comprise many important steps, from exploring different materials, to the engineering of compositions and nanostructures, to developing, testing and understanding a range of different memory device forms, to industry liaison/translation on device development.
