Researchers use graphene to enhance perovskite memristor devices

Researchers from the University of Groningen combined graphene with a perovskite ferroelectric material to design a new memristor device.

In the device, a graphene strip was placed on top of a flake of STO (strontium titanium oxide perovskite). The graphene strip addition enabled the usage of the STO material at higher temperatures than before. This research creates new insights into the adoption of STO materials in memristor devices.
