Metastable ferroelectricity driven by depolarization fields in ultrathin Hf0.5Zr0.5O2

HfO2-based ferroelectric materials have immense technological potential and so significant attention has been given to improve the ferroelectric properties at low-thickness. Here, using Landau Devonshire theory, the authors show the origin of pinched hysteresis loops is connected with the existence...
