  • Description: Continued progress in high-speed computing depends on breakthroughs in both materials synthesis and device architectures. The performance of logic and memory can be enhanced significantly by introducing a memristor, a two-terminal device with internal resistance that depends on the history of the external bias voltage. State-of-the-art memristors, based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures with insulating oxides, such as TiO₂, are limited by a lack of control over the filament formation and external control of the switching voltage. Here, we report a class of memristors based on grain boundaries (GBs) in single-layer MoS₂ devices. Specifically, the resistance of GBs emerging from contacts can be easily and repeatedly modulated, with switching ratios up to ∼10(3) and a dynamic negative differential resistance (NDR). Furthermore, the atomically thin nature of MoS₂ enables tuning of the set voltage by a third gate terminal in a field-effect geometry, which provides new functionality that is not observed in other known memristive devices.
