摘　　要：In the post-Moore era,neuromorphic computing has been mainly focused on breaking the von Neumann bottlenecks.Memristors have been proposed as a key part of neuromorphic computing architectures,and can be used to emulate the synaptic plasticities of the human brain.Ferroelectric memristors represent a breakthrough for memristive devices on account of their reliable nonvolatile storage,low write/read latency and tunable conductive states.However,among the reported ferroelectric memristors,the mechanisms of resistive switching are still under debate.In addition,there needs to be more research on emulation of the brain synapses using ferroelectric memristors.Herein,Cu/PbZr_(0.52)Ti_(0.48)O_(3)(PZT)/Pt ferroelectric memristors have been fabricated.The devices are able to realize the transformation from threshold switching behavior to resistive switching behavior.The synaptic plasticities,including excitatory post-synaptic current,paired-pulse facilitation,paired-pulse depression and spike time-dependent plasticity,have been mimicked by the PZT devices.Furthermore,the mechanisms of PZT devices have been investigated by first-principles calculations based on the interface barrier and conductive filament models.This work may contribute to the application of ferroelectric memristors in neuromorphic computing systems.
