| Research Abstract |
Research on functional development of atomic switches, in which formation and annihilation of a metal atom bridge between two electrodes is controlled using solid electrochemical reaction, was carried out. One of the developed functions is a learning ability that stores information without any change in the output signals until a certain number of input signals comes, then it turns the atomic switch on when the certain number of input signals comes. Volatile/nonvolatile selective operation has been also developed, in which the volatile operation loses the information with cut-off of the power supply while the nonvolatile operation keeps the information even after the cut-off of the power supply. These new functions are expected to contribute to the development of new types of computers such as neural systems.
