Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, HfO2-based novel phase without spatial symmetry, which is interesting ferroelectric material as Pb-free and non-perovskite-type structure. Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) thin films are one of the representative materials with the orthorhombic phase Pca21 in the wide compositional range. We have attempted and realized the epitaxial growth of HZO thin films with the orthorhombic phase Pca21 using solid-state epitaxy with ion-beam sputtering followed by rapid thermal annealing. We have also described the nanoscale morphology and the domain structure of orthorhombic (Pca21) and coexisting monoclinic (P21/c) phases in HZO thin films using the aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. These results indicate that two effects, the solute and the elastic constraint effects, are necessary for the stabilization of the orthorhombic phase.
