Abstract
In the ever-growing field of two-dimensional (2D) materials, the boron-sulfide (B2S2) monolayer is a promising new addition to MoS2-like 2D materials, with the boron (a lighter element) pair (B2 pair) having similar valence electrons to Mo. Herein, we have functionalized the h-phase boron sulfide monolayer by introducing oxygen atoms (Oh-B2S2) to widen its application scope as a gas sensor. The charge carrier mobilities of this system were found to be 790 × 102 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 32 × 102 cm2 V-1 s-1 for electrons and holes, respectively, which are much higher than the mobilities of the MoS2 monolayer. The potential application of the 2D Oh-B2S2 monolayer in the realm of gas sensing was evaluated using a combination of density functional theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) based simulations. Our results imply that the Oh-B2S2 monolayer outperforms graphene and MoS2 in NO and NO2 selective sensing with higher adsorption energies (-0.56 and -0.16 eV) and charge transfer values (0.34 and 0.13e). Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics show that the Oh-B2S2 monolayer may selectively detect NO and NO2 gases after bias 1.4 V, providing a greater possibility for the development of boron-based gas-sensing devices for future nanoelectronics.

Abstract
The pursuit of high-performance, next-generation nanoelectronics is fundamentally reliant on exploiting quantum phenomena such as tunneling at room temperature. However, quantum tunneling and memory dynamics are governed by two conflicting parameters: the presence or absence of defects. Therefore, the integration of both attributes within a single device presents substantial challenges. Nevertheless, successful integration has the potential to prompt crucial breakthroughs by emulating biobrain-like dynamics, in turn enabling sophisticated in-material neural logic operations. In this work, we demonstrate that a conformal nanolaminate HfO2/ZrO2 structure on silicon enables high-performing (>106 s) Fowler-Nordheim tunneling at room temperature. In addition, the device exhibits unipolar dynamic hysteresis loop opening (on/off ratio >102) with high endurance (>104 cycles) along with negative differential resistance, which is attributed to the collective ferroelectric and capacitive effects and is utilized to emulate synaptic functions. Further, proof-of-concept logic gates based on voltage-dependent plasticity and time-domain were developed using a single device, offering in-material neural-like data processing. These findings pave the way for the realization of high-performing and scalability tunneling devices in advanced nanoelectronics, which mark a promising route toward the development of next-generation, fundamental neural logic computing systems.

Abstract
We demonstrated the resistive random access memory characteristics for Cu (top contact)/BFO/PMMA (active layer)/ITO (bottom electrode)/PET sheet as a flexible substrate device configuration. The device showed non-volatile bipolar resistive switching characteristics with good repeatability and the coexistence of NDR for 100 cycles or more with 0.28/3.43 mW power consumption for 1st/100th cycles. The device retains its read state for 104 s or more and switches from LRS to HRS or vice versa for 103 cycles with a pulse width of 100 ms for a write-read-erase-read pulse without affecting the memory characteristics. The Weibull distribution suggests that a set state is more stable than the reset state with shape factor β = 25.20. The device follows Ohmic behavior for the lower applied external field and Child square and Schottky emission for the higher external fields. The Joule heating, Sorets, and Fick's forces are responsible for the formation and rupturing of ionic filament. The coexistence of resistive switching and flexible strength of the device sustains the bending curvature of infinity, 0.2 cm, 1 cm, 1.7 cm, and 2.2 cm. The memory characteristics are retained under tensile conditions for 100 cycles or more. More interestingly, the power consumption for sustaining the NDR region with bending (19 μW) is much lower than without bending (0.19 mW). Thus, this study provides the possibility of integrating BFO with flexible substrates suitable for hybrid organic/inorganic memory structures.

Abstract
Resistive switching (RS) memories have attracted great attention as promising solutions to next-generation non-volatile memories and computing technologies because of their simple device configuration, high on/off ratio, low power consumption, fast switching, long retention, and significant cyclic stability. In this work, uniform and adherent iron tungstate (FeWO4) thin films were synthesized by the spray pyrolysis method with various precursor solution volumes, and these were tested as a switching layer for the fabrication of Ag/FWO/FTO memristive devices. The detailed structural investigation was done through various analytical and physio-chemical characterizations viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and its Rietveld refinement, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The results reveal the pure and single-phase FeWO4 compound thin film formation. Surface morphological study shows the spherical particle formation having a diameter in the range of 20 to 40 nm. The RS characteristics of the Ag/FWO/FTO memristive device demonstrate non-volatile memory characteristics with significant endurance and retention properties. Interestingly, the memory devices show stable and reproducible negative differential resistance (NDR) effects. The in-depth statistical analysis suggests the good operational uniformity of the device. Moreover, the switching voltages of the Ag/FWO/FTO memristive device were modeled using the time series analysis technique by utilizing Holt's Winter Exponential Smoothing (HWES) approach. Additionally, the device mimics bio-synaptic properties such as potentiation/depression, excitatory post-synaptic current (EPSC), and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) learning rules. For the present device, the space-charge-limited current (SCLC) and trap-controlled-SCLC effects dominated during positive and negative bias I-V characteristics, respectively. The RS mechanism dominated in the low resistance state (LRS), and the high resistance state (HRS) was explained based on the formation and rupture of conductive filament composed of Ag ions and oxygen vacancies. This work demonstrates the RS in the metal tungstate-based memristive devices and demonstrates a low-cost approach for fabricating memristive devices.

Abstract
Memristive systems can provide a novel strategy to conquer the von Neumann bottleneck by evaluating information where data are located in situ. To meet the rising of artificial neural network (ANN) demand, the implementation of memristor arrays capable of performing matrix multiplication requires highly reproducible devices with low variability and high reliability. Hence, we present an Ag/CuO/SiO2/p-Si heterostructure device that exhibits both resistive switching (RS) and negative differential resistance (NDR). The memristor device was fabricated on p-Si and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrates via cost-effective ultra-spray pyrolysis (USP) method. The quality of CuO nanoparticles was recognized by studying Raman spectroscopy. The topology information was obtained by scanning electron microscopy. The resistive switching and negative differential resistance were measured from current–voltage characteristics. The results were then compared with the Ag/CuO/ITO device to understand the role of native oxide. The interface barrier and traps associated with the defects in the native silicon oxide limited the current in the negative cycle. The barrier confined the filament rupture and reduced the reset variability. Reset was primarily influenced by the filament rupture and detrapping in the native oxide that facilitated smooth reset and NDR in the device. The resistive switching originated from traps in the localized states of amorphous CuO. The set process was mainly dominated by the trap-controlled space-charge-limited; this led to a transition into a Poole–Frenkel conduction. This research opens up new possibilities to improve the switching parameters and promote the application of RS along with NDR.
