Non-volatile memories: Materials, nanostructures and integration approaches

摘要

The following pages are the result of the exciting investigations presented during the Symposium AA of the 2015 E-MRS Spring Conference "Non-volatile memories: materials, nanostructures and integration approaches", aimed to gather the newest and most significant studies in the field of materials and materials-related concepts for non-volatile memories (NVM), devices at the heart of all appliances that need to handle and keep information during power cycling. The increasing need for high density data storage systems in different types of applications has created a significant research effort to develop memory concepts using novel functional materials. Improving the scalability and performance of these new devices is a multi-disciplinary task, which spans from molecular dynamics to solid state physics, to manufacturing process. These aspects make the NVM field most appealing to the research related to materials with application potential, making the conference an excellent platform to share, make visible and disseminate the work done in this field in Europe and beyond.
