Paraelectric/antiferroelectric/ferroelectric phase transformation in As-deposited ZrO2 thin films by the TiN capping engineering

Based on the engineering of the TiN capping layer, the tailoring of the crystalline phases and the paraelectric(PE)/antiferroelectric(AFE)/ferroelectric(FE) properties of nanoscale ZrO2 thin films are demonstrated without any post-annealing treatment. The capping by the TiN layer leads to the conver...
