Large Memcapacitance And Memristance At Nb:Srtio3/La0.5sr0.5mn0.5co0.5o3-Delta Topotactic Redox Interface

The possibility to develop neuromorphic computing devices able to mimic the extraordinary data processing capabilities of biological systems spurs the research on memristive systems. Memristors with additional functionalities such as robust memcapacitance can outperform standard devices in key aspects such as power consumption or miniaturization possibilities. In this work, we demonstrate a large memcapacitive response of a perovskite memristive interface, using the topotactic redox ability of La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.5Co0.5O3-delta (LSMCO, 0 <= delta <= 0.62). We demonstrate that the multi-mem behavior originates at the switchable n-p diode formed at the Nb:SrTiO3/LSMCO interface. We found for our Nb:SrTiO3/LSMCO/Pt devices a memcapacitive effect C-HIGH/C-LOW similar to 100 at 150kHz. The proof-of-concept interface reported here opens a promising venue to use topotactic redox materials for disruptive nanoelectronics, with straightforward applications in neuromorphic computing technology.
