Transmemristance in multiterminal memristive nanowire networks

Memristive systems have been extensively explored for the realization of novel computing hardware architectures. In addition to conventional crossbar arrays based on two-terminal memristive cells, multiterminal memristive systems formed by self-organizing networks of nanoscale components have attracted growing interest. Here, we discuss the concept of transmemristance in multiterminal memristive networks, where emergent memristive behavior arises from the mutual interactions among a large number of nanowires (NWs). We show that transmemristance offers a new perspective for probing the internal dynamics of such systems, providing insights into their spatiotemporal evolution. Moreover, it can serve as a measurable physical quantity that reflects the internal state of the network and can be harnessed for the hardware implementation of unconventional computing paradigms.
