“…It could be due to the presence of an internal bias field between NiTi and PZT films induced by the interdiffusion at the interface or entrapment of space charges, e.g., oxygen vacancies [50,51]. The e-E curves obtained for sample P 3 and P 4 were well defined symmetric loops with butterfly shape that correspond to the reversal polarization switching behavior in the ferroelectric films and gives further evidence of the enhancement of the ferroelectricity [52,53]. Furthermore, a higher dielectric tunability (defined as [e r(T,0) À e r(T,E) ]/ e r(T,0) , where e r(T,0) and e r(T,E) are the dielectric constant at zero electric field and applied electric field, respectively) was also observed sample P 3 and P 4 as compared with sample P 2 , as shown in Table 2.…”
