Oxygen defect accumulation at Si:HfO2 interfaces
It has been shown earlier that thermodynamic and kinetic driving forces exist for an isolated oxygen defect to segregate to Si:HfO2 interfaces. In the present work, using the first principles calculat...

Domain dynamics in the piezoresponse force spectroscopy (PFS) experiment is studied using the combination of local hysteresis loop acquisition with simultaneous domain imaging. The analytical theory for PFS signal from domain of arbitrary cross section and length is developed for the analysis of experimental data on Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 films. The results suggest formation of oblate domain at early stage of the nucleation and growth, consistent with efficient screening of depolarization field. The fine structure of the hysteresis loop is shown to be related to the observed jumps in domain geometry during domain wall propagation (nanoscale Barkhausen jumps), indicative of strong domain-defect interactions. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
