Abstract

In article 1700461, Weisheng Zhao and co-workers demonstrate a heterogeneous memristive device based on a magnetic tunnel junction nanopillar surrounded by resistive filaments. It features spin transfer torque fast switching for computation together with multilevel resistive switching for non-volatile memory, providing perspectives to achieve emerging computing paradigms and overcome the power dissipation bottleneck, e.g., logic-in-memory and neuromorphic computing.
