Neuromorphic electronics has received considerable attention recent years, and its basic functional units are synaptic electronic devices. A two-terminal artificial synapse with sandwiched structure emulates plasticity of the biological synapses under the action of nerve-like electrical impulse signals. In this paper,
P3 phase Na
2/3Ni
1/3Mn
2/3O
2 multi-element metal oxides with layered structure are synthesized by sol-gel process. Owing to the fact that Na
+ is easy to embed/eject into its crystal structure, an ion-migrating artificial synapse based on Na
2/3Ni
1/3Mn
2/3O
2 is designed and fabricated. The device emulates important synaptic plasticity, such as excitatory postsynaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, spike-number dependent plasticity, spike-frequency dependent plasticity, spike-voltage amplitude dependent plasticity and spike-duration dependent plasticity. The device realizes the identification and response to Morse code commands.
