The Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) announced the application results of the 2022 Exercise in September 2022. Prof. Jianhua Hao’s project is successfully funded by the Key Program of NSFC. As PC/PI, Prof. Hao will collaborate the researchers in Nankai University and Sichuan Normal University, China to perform the study of multifunctional ultrathin ferroelectric integrated materials and devices towards neuromorphic computing and human visual system. Artificial intelligence is the frontier field with significant societal impact. However, the present technologies cannot sufficiently meet the needs of supporting the future information society in terms of information transmission bandwidth, power consumption, processing speed and intelligent control. Particularly, the rapid development of neuromorphic computing and artificial vision system urgently call for the innovation in multifunctional integrated materials and devices. On a basis of the Prof. Hao's internationally recognized works regarding ferroelectric manipulation of rare-earth-doped luminescence and ferroelectric optoelectronics, the proposed study is to effectively integrate ferroelectric polarization with multifunctional characteristics of electronic properties of semiconductor, photodetection and rare-earth ion luminescence. Novel synaptic devices with multi-modes will be demonstrated. The developed materials and devices in this project will provide potential solutions for overcoming the development bottleneck of information technology.
