The transport and synaptic characteristics of the two-terminal Au/Ti/ amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO)/thin SiO2/p+-Si memristors based on the modulation of the Schottky barrier (SB) between the resistive switching (RS) oxide layer and the metal electrodes are investigated by modulating the oxygen content in the a-IGZO film with the emphasis on the mechanism that determines the boundary of the abrupt/gradual RS. It is found that a bimodal distribution of the effective SB height (ΦB) results from further reducing the top electrode voltage (VTE)-dependent Fermi-level (EF) followed by the generation of ionized oxygen vacancies (VO2+s). Based on the proposed model, the influences of the readout voltage, the oxygen content, the number of consecutive VTE sweeps on ΦB, and the memristor current are explained. In particular, the process of VO2+ generation followed by the ΦB lowering is gradual because increasing the VTE-dependent EF lowering followed by the VO2+ generation is self-limited by increasing the electron concentration-dependent EF heightening. Furthermore, we propose three operation regimes: the readout, the potentiation in gradual RS, and the abrupt RS. Our results prove that the Au/Ti/a-IGZO/SiO2/p+-Si memristors are promising for the monolithic integration of neuromorphic computing systems because the boundary between the gradual and abrupt RS can be controlled by modulating the SiO2 thickness and IGZO work function.

This paper proposes a novel microdroplet generator based on the dielectrophoretic (DEP) force. Unlike the conventional continuous microfluidic droplet generator, this droplet generator is more like “invisible electric scissors”. It can cut the droplet off from the fluid matrix and modify droplets’ length precisely by controlling the electrodes’ length and position. These electrodes are made of liquid metal by injection. By applying a certain voltage on the liquid-metal electrodes, the electrodes generate an uneven electric field inside the main microfluidic channel. Then, the uneven electric field generates DEP force inside the fluid. The DEP force shears off part from the main matrix, in order to generate droplets. To reveal the mechanism, numerical simulations were performed to analyze the DEP force. A detailed experimental parametric study was also performed. Unlike the traditional droplet generators, the main separating force of this work is DEP force only, which can produce one droplet at a time in a more precise way.

In this paper, a flexible and stretchable energy harvester based on liquid-metal and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) electret films is proposed and implemented for the application of wearable devices. A gallium liquid-metal alloy with a melting point of 25.0 °C is used to form the stretchable electrode; therefore, the inducted energy harvester will have excellent flexibility and stretchability. The solid-state electrode is wrapped in a dragon-skin silicone rubber shell and then bonded with FEP electret film and conductive film to form a flexible and stretchable energy harvester. Then, the open-circuit voltage of the designed energy harvester is tested and analyzed. Finally, the fabricated energy harvester is mounted on the elbow of a human body to harvest the energy produced by the bending of the elbow. The experimental results show that the flexible and stretchable energy harvester can adapt well to elbow bending and convert elbow motion into electric energy to light the LED in a wearable watch.
