The zeta potentials of different α-Fe2O3 suspensions with different additives were measured as a function of p H to identify the optimum suspension condition for deposition. Electrophoretic depositions of α-Fe2O3 coatings under different applied electric fields and deposition time were studied and the effects of applied voltages and deposition time on deposition rates and thicknesses were investigated. The particle packing densities of the deposits at various applied voltages and deposition time were also analyzed by a scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results show that crack-free α-Fe2O3 coatings with uniform microstructure and good adherence to the nickel substrates are successfully obtained. Electrophoretic deposited α-Fe2O3 coating from aqueous suspension is a feasible, low-cost and environmental friendly method.展开更多

However, most previously reported synaptic devices exhibit fixed performance once been fabricated,which limits their application in diverse scenarios. Here, we report floating-gate photosensitive synaptic transistors with charge-trapping perovskite quantum dots(PQDs) and atomic layer deposited(ALD) Al_(2)O_(3) tunneling layers, which exhibit typical synaptic behaviors including excitatory postsynaptic current(EPSC), pair-pulse facilitation and dynamic filtering characteristics under both electrical or optical signal stimulation. Further, the combination of the high-quality Al2O3 tuning layer and highly photosensitive PQDs charge-trapping layer provides the devices with extensively tunable synaptic performance under optical and electrical co-modulation. Applying light during electrical modulation can significantly improve both the synaptic weight changes and the nonlinearity of weight updates, while the memory effect under light modulation can be obviously adjusted by the gate voltage.The pattern learning and forgetting processes for "0" and "1"with different synaptic weights and memory times are further demonstrated in the device array. Overall, this work provides synaptic devices with tunable functions for building complex and robust artificial neural networks.展开更多
