Abstract:
Memristor (memory + resistor) is the fourth basic circuit element beyond resistor, capacitor and inductor. It establishes a relationship between flux and charge and its present resistance depends on its past state. With fast switching speeds (~picoseconds), low power consumption (~femto-joule/bit), long write/erase endurance, and high scalability (nano-meter scale), memristors have strongly captured the attention of research community in the fields of neuromorphic computation, artificial intelligence, ultra-dense data storage, and logic circuits.
