Programmable Analog Circuits with Neuromorphic Nanostructured Platinum Films by Stefano Radice, Filippo Profumo, Francesca Borghi, Andrea Falqui, Paolo Milani

“…Recently it is demonstrated that nanostructured Au films, fabricated by the assembling of gold clusters produced in the gas phase, have non‐linear and non‐local electric conduction properties caused by the extremely high density of grain boundaries and the resulting complex arrangement of nanojunctions. These observations suggest that nanostructured metallic films can be explored and exploited as a novel class of neuromorphic systems for unconventional electronic devices. …”
