Controllable Resistive Switching in ReS2/WS2 Heterostructure for Nonvolatile Memory and Synaptic Simulation

ratios are retained. By introducing electrostatic doping through the gate control, the set voltage can be tailored in a wide range from 4.50 to 0.40 V. Furthermore, biological synaptic functions and plasticity, including spike rate-dependent plasticity and paired-pulse facilitation, are successfully realized. By employing optical illumination, resistive switching can also be modulated, which is dependent on the illumination energy and power. A mechanism related to the interlayer charge transfer controlled by optical excitation is revealed.
