Memristive switching in the surface of a charge-density-wave topological semimetal

Owing to the outstanding properties provided by nontrivial band topology,topological phases of matter are considered as a promising platform towards low-dissipation electronics,efficient spin-charge conver-sion,and topological quantum computation.Achieving ferroelectricity in topological materials enables the non-volatile control of the quantum states,which could greatly facilitate topological electronic research.However,ferroelectricity is generally incompatible with systems featuring metallicity due to the screening effect of free carriers.In this study,we report the observation of memristive switching based on the ferroelectric surface state of a topological semimetal(TaSe4)2I.We find that the surface state of(TaSe4)2I presents out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization due to surface reconstruction.With the com-bination of ferroelectric surface and charge-density-wave-gapped bulk states,an electric-switchable bar-rier height can be achieved in(TaSe4)2I-metal contact.By employing a multi-terminal-grounding design,we manage to construct a prototype ferroelectric memristor based on(TaSe4)2I with on/off ratio up to 103,endurance over 103 cycles,and good retention characteristics.The origin of the ferroelectric surface state is further investigated by first-principles calculations,which reveal an interplay between ferroelec-tricity and band topology.The emergence of ferroelectricity in(TaSe4)2I not only demonstrates it as a rare but essential case of ferroelectric topological materials,but also opens new routes towards the imple-mentation of topological materials in functional electronic devices.
