title: Tailoring transient-amorphous states: towards fast and power-efficient phase-change memory and neuromorphic computing.
abstract: A new methodology for manipulating transient-amorphous states of phase-change memory (PCM) materials is reported as a viable means to boost the speed, yet reduce the power consumption of PC memories, and is applicable to new forms of PCM-based neuromorphic devices. Controlling multiple-pulse interactions with PC materials may provide an opportunity toward developing a new paradigm for ultra-fast neuromorphic computing.
