Origin of Anomalous Size Effects in Ferroelectric Hafnia Thin Films

Tianyuan Zhu, Jingxuan Li, Zuhuang Chen +1

The persistence of ferroelectricity in ultrathin HfO films challenges conventional theories, particularly given the paradoxical observation that the out-of-plane lattice spacin…

Multiferroic VHfO with Strain-Tunable Magnetism

Qisheng Yu, Tianyuan Zhu, Boyu Liu +2

The coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism in a single-phase oxide is rare because the electronic requirements for these two orders are often incompatible. Here, using first…

Unexpected Density Functional Dependence of the Antipolar Phase in HfO

Di Fan, Tianyuan Zhu, Shi Liu

The antipolar phase of HfO has been suggested to play an important role in the phase transition and polarization switching mechanisms in ferroelectric hafnia. In this st…

Origin of Interstitial Doping Induced Coercive Field Reduction in Ferroelectric Hafnia

Tianyuan Zhu, Liyang Ma, Xu Duan +1

Hafnia-based ferroelectrics hold promise for nonvolatile ferroelectric memory devices. However, the high coercive field required for polarization switching remains a prime obstacle…
