Unravelling the nanoscale mechanism of polarization reversal in a Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂-based ferroelectric capacitor by vector piezoresponse force microscopy

Abstract

Ferroelectricity is demanded in many device concepts in electronics, energy and microsystems engineering. The performance of ferroelectrics-based devices is determined by either out-of-plane or in-plane polarization, or out-of-plane or in-plane...
