Temperature Dependence of Current-Voltage Characteristics of Ionic Liquid Type Intelligent Connection Device

The temperature dependence of intelligent connection (IConnect) devices in which ionic liquid (IL) plays an important role in a memristive function is presented in this study. The appropriate choice of IL and dissolved metal ion species can control the volatility of IL-IConnect devices. The temperature dependence of IL-IConnect device was strong, although the change in the current-voltage characteristics was reversible in response to temperature variations. The device’s potential as a physical reservoir-computing device is studied. (Keywords: Ionic Liquids (IL), Intelligent Connection (IConnect) Device, IL-Reservoir device)
