Abstract
Nanomaterials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides are being explored for developing artificial photosensory synapses with low-power optical plasticity and high retention time for practical nervous system implementation. However, few studies are conducted on Tellurium (Te)-based nanomaterials due to their direct and small bandgaps. This paper reports the superior photo-synaptic properties of covalently bonded Tellurium sulfur oxide (TeSOx) andTellurium selenium oxide (TeSeOx)nanomaterials, which are fabricated by incorporating S and Se atoms on the surface of Te multiropes using vapor deposition. Unlike pure Te multiropes, the TeSOx and TeSeOx multiropes exhibit controllable temporal dynamics under optical stimulation. For example, the TeSOx multirope-based transistor displays a photosensory synaptic response to UV light (λ = 365nm). Furthermore, the TeSeOx multirope-based transistor exhibits photosensory synaptic responses to UV-vis light (λ = 365, 565, and 660nm), reliable electrical performance, and a combination of both photodetector and optical artificial synaptic properties with a maximum responsivity of 1500 AW-1 to 365nm UV light. This result is among the highest reported for Te-heterostructure-based devices, enabling optical artificial synaptic applications with low voltage spikes (1V) and low light intensity (21 µW cm-2), potentially useful for optical neuromorphic computing.
