2D Single-Atom Switching Materials and Applications in Electronics and 6G Communication Systems

This presentation focuses on the nonvolatile resistance switching memory effect in 2D materials, aka, atomristors. Nonvolatile memory devices based on 2D materials are an application of defects and is a rapidly advancing field with rich multiphysics that can be attributed to vacancies combined with metal adsorption. The energetics of the defects are discussed and emerging applications such as zero-power switches in RF, 6G, and THz connectivity systems are presented. These memory devices offer high-energy efficiency and fast switching that may benefit mobile systems, cloud computing and data centers towards reduced energy consumption worldwide
