Abstract:
Nanofiber neuromorphic transistors are regarded as promising candidates for mimicking brain-like learning and advancing high-performance computing. Composite nanofibers (CNFs) typically exhibit enhanced optoelectronic and mechanical properties. In this study, indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) CNFs were synthesized, and the neuromorphic transistor was integrated on both rigid and flexible substrates. The learning behavior, characterized by the transition from short-term plasticity (STP) to long-term plasticity, was achieved through photoelectric stimulation of the rigid neuromorphic transistor. The nonlinear STP was simulated by the flexible neuromorphic transistor through electrical pulses, matching effectively with a reservoir computing (RC) system. Hand gesture recognition with little energy consumption (49 pJ per reservoir state) and a maximum accuracy of 92.86% has been achieved by the RC system, proving the substantial potential of the IGZO/PVP CNF neuromorphic transistor for wearable intelligent processing tasks.

Electrical Synapses
Gap junctions allow the current to pass directly from one cell to the next. In contrast, in the chemical synapse, the neurotransmitters carry the information through the synaptic cleft from one neuron to the next. They consist of two...
The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential.
Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
Metal-Semiconductor Junctions
Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The semiconductor's...
