Temperature Driven Current–Voltage Characteristics of Ionic Liquid Type Intelligent Connection Device

Abstract

The temperature dependence of an intelligent connection (IConnect) device, in which an ionic liquid (IL) plays an essential role in a memristive function is presented in this study. An appropriate choice of IL and dissolved metal ion species can control the volatility of the IL-IConnect device. The temperature dependence of the IL-IConnect device was strong, although the change in current-voltage characteristics was reversible in response to temperature variations. The device's potential as a physical reservoir-computing device is studied.
