Nanoparticles tunnel-coupled by insulating organic molecules exhibit strong nonlinear switching behavior at low temperatures. When assembling these switches in a recurrent network and manipulating the charge transport dynamics inside through surrounding electrodes, this network can be configured to execute brain-inspired computing applications. Via extensive kinetic Monte Carlo-based simulations we have analyze both stationary and time-dependent charge transport dynamics to assess the network*s computing and memory capabilities. We provide novel metrics to quantify general nonlinear properties of the network such as negative differential resistance and nonlinear separability of different input values, which are essential for future machine learning applications.
