Influence of Bottom Electrodes on the Ferroelectric Stability of AlScN Film at High Temperatures
The thermal stability of AlScN depends on the bottom electrode. When the bottom electrode possesses compressive stress, tensile strain develops in the AlScN upon thermal annealing, reducing the switching barrier. When the bottom electrode forms a coherent interface with AlScN, significant tensile strain and defects are generated in the AlScN layer ...

Proximity Ferroelectricity in Compositionally Graded Structures
We perform the finite element modeling of the polarization switching in the compositionally graded AlN‐Al1‐xScxN and ZnO‐Zn1‐xMgxO structures and reveal the switching of spontaneous polarization in the whole structure in all these systems. The coercive field to switch is significantly lower than the electric breakdown field of the unswitchable AlN and ...

Coercive voltage enhancement in hafnia‐based ferroelectric–dielectric heterostructures is shown to originate from leakage‐governed voltage division between the ferroelectric and dielectric layers. Through experiments, circuit modeling, and defect‐based simulations, a universal framework is established to engineer large memory windows without altering ...

Recycled Piezoelectric Materials with Competitive Second‐Life Functional Properties
The essential piezoelectric ceramics with heavy ecological footprints are not sufficiently recycled. This work demonstrates the feasibility of recycling different types of piezoelectric ceramics using different binders, where the terpolymer binder with relatively large permittivity facilitated superior retention of properties after recycling, promoting
