A simple solution‐based ITO surface treatment unlocks the full potential of phosphonic‐acid SAMs by balancing surface hydroxylation, conductivity, and homogeneity. Moderately hydroxylated interfaces yield uniform, electronically favourable contacts, enhancing charge extraction, stability, and thermal‐cycling resilience, with broad applicability across ...

We identify two decisive levers for SAM interfaces: molecular design (carboxylic acid‐based, phosphonic acid, other anchoring chemistries, and polymeric SAMs) and mixing routes (co‐assembly, in situ assembly, pre‐ and post‐treatment). Coordinated tuning of headgroups and assembly pathways optimises energy alignment and film formation, suppresses ...

Hardware‐Based On‐Chip Learning Using a Ferroelectric AND‐Type Array With Random Synaptic Weights
This work demonstrates an energy‐efficient on‐chip learning system using an Metal‐Ferroelectric‐Insulator‐Semiconductor FeAND synaptic array. By employing a feedback alignment scheme with a separate backward array using fixed random weights, the system overcomes directional limitations of AND‐type arrays and achieves robust, low‐power learning suitable

Device‐Level Implementation of Reservoir Computing With Memristors
Reservoir computing (RC) is an emerging computing scheme that employs a reservoir and a single readout layer, which can be actualized in the nanoscale with memristors. As a comprehensive overview, the principles of RC and the switching mechanisms of memristors are discussed, followed by actual demonstrations of memristor‐based RC and the remaining ...
