Neuromorphic Devices

In this project, we investigate the fundamental mechanisms of dopant and ion motion in organic semiconductors, using light-emitting electrochemical cells and organic electrochemical transistors as test beds both in experiment and simulation. Herein, we focus on the largely unexplored but anticipated correlation of ion motion with electronic motion that would enable ion pumps. Additionally, we aim to develop organic memristive (neuromorphic) devices by controlling conductivity hysteresis in two-terminal devices, which is introduced by dynamic doping due to mobile ions.

This project is part of the GRK 2948 Mixed Ionic-Electronic Transport.
