Abstract
In this work the synaptic properties of a bio-organic material, honey, thin film device was fabricated by spin coat process on top of an ITO bottom layer and a top layer Ag is also explored. A dried honey film was sandwiched in between an ITO bottom electrode and Ag top electrode to form a conductor-insulator-conductor structure on a glass substrate. Applying voltage spikes of different pulse width, pulse count, and timings can result in the device exhibiting behavior that is analogues to synapses in the brain such as paired pulse facilitation, spike timing dependent plasticity, and synaptic summation/inhibition to name a few. This study proves that honey can be used as a memristive material that exhibits neuromorphic behavior.
