Abstract(in English) The metal-insulator transition of VO2 is exploited in neuromorphic circuits, resulting in a capacitor-less neuron circuit which overcomes the fundamental challenges of downscaling capacitors. The Joule-heat-induced metal-insulator transition enables heat integral in analogy with charge integral in capacitors, leading to the time averaging of the input voltage pulses in the artificial neuron circuits. Thus, the phase transition materials with time averaging function, including VO2, will replace capacitors and help integrate the neuromorphic circuits.
