  • 通过控制电极调节纳米颗粒网络的非线性动力学行为。
  • 在截止频率附近操作时,计算性能达最优,且内存类型由氧化层厚度决定。
  • 引入结构无序可打破表达能力极限,适合动态神经形态应用。

物理计算利用复杂动力系统实现低功耗数据处理。本文提出一种基于金属纳米颗粒通过分子结连接在SiO₂/Si基底上的类脑架构。通过调控周围静态电极,可将该纳米颗粒网络从被动储层转变为可调的非线性动力系统。分析电极如何将一维电压输入转换为多维信号响应,确立三项核心设计原则:第一,在系统截止频率附近操作,可平衡非线性隧穿与线性电容记忆;第二,调节底层SiO₂厚度可设定静电屏蔽长度,决定记忆类型——厚氧化层使网络尺寸超过屏蔽长度时进入持久、非易失性态,反之则仅具短暂记忆;第三,通过异质分子结引入结构无序,突破表达能力上限。尽管网络表达能力随物理尺寸增长,但受屏蔽长度限制。以局部无序打破内部空间对称性,使控制电压能独立调节特定信号振幅与相位,普遍提升动态神经形态应用性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Physical computing leverages complex dynamical systems for energy-efficient data processing. In this work, we present a neuromorphic architecture based on metallic nanoparticles interconnected by molecular junctions on a $\text{SiO}_2$/Si substrate. We demonstrate that surrounding static control electrodes transform this nanoparticle network from a passive reservoir into a tunable nonlinear dynamical system. By analyzing how these electrodes route simple one-dimensional voltage inputs into multidimensional signal responses, we establish three core design rules to maximize computational performance. First, operating near the system's cutoff frequency achieves an optimal balance between nonlinear charge tunneling and linear capacitive memory. Second, tuning the underlying $\text{SiO}_2$ thickness sets the electrostatic screening length and dictates the memory type. Thick oxide layers reduce the screening length, causing networks larger than this length to transition into a persistent, non-volatile-like regime. Conversely, networks smaller than the screening length exhibit only fading memory. Third, introducing structural disorder via heterogeneous molecular junctions overcomes inherent limits on expressivity. While a network's computational expressivity scales with its physical size, it is ultimately capped by the screening length. Breaking internal spatial symmetries with localized disorder bypasses this saturation, allowing control voltages to independently manipulate specific signal amplitudes and phases, universally maximizing performance for dynamic neuromorphic applications.
