- 研究成果概要
As a result of previous investigations during this period, I first aimed to improve the mechanical integrity of the 3D reservoir device. As stated in last year's report, the SWCNT/PVA nanocomposite was deformable and unrecoverable; with that in mind, I began working on introducing additives to improve the nanocomposite's mechanical stability. Fortunately, I could fabricate a hard porous network via a freeze-drying process, resulting in a highly stable and porous network. Moreover, by manipulating the fabrication parameters, I could manipulate the topology of the porous 3D network, which was confirmed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, which was one of the targets of this work. Nonetheless, the measurement of such devices requires complicated setup and equipment. Using the budget, I obtained a data acquisition device (NI-USB 6215) with a high sampling rate that I will use to investigate the reservoir properties, such as memory capacity and other benchmarks that are necessary to evaluate physical reservoir performance.
However, my research on physical reservoir computing did not stop here. While working on manipulating the device topology, as a result of my collaboration with Professor Hirofumi Tanaka of the Kyushu Institute of Technology, we were able to publish four articles in Advanced Electronic Materials, Advanced Intelligent Systems, Applied Physics Letters, and Vacuum and Surface Science – JSTAGE.
