Título: | Electrochemical ferroelectric switching: Origin of polarization reversal in ultrathin films |
Autor: | Bristowe, N. C.; Stengel, Massimiliano CSIC ORCID; Littlewood, P. B.; Pruneda, Miguel CSIC ORCID ; Artacho, Emilio | Fecha de publicación: | 2012 | Editor: | American Physical Society | Citación: | Physical Review B 85(2): 024106 (2012) | Resumen: | Against expectations, robust switchable ferroelectricity has been recently observed in ultrathin (1 nm) ferroelectric films exposed to air. Based on first-principles calculations, we show that the system does not polarize unless charged defects or adsorbates form at the surface. We propose electrochemical processes as the most likely origin of this charge. The ferroelectric polarization of the film adapts to the external ionic charge generated on its surface by redox processes when poling the film. This, in turn, alters the band alignment at the bottom electrode interface, explaining the observed tunneling electroresistance. Our conclusions are supported by energetics calculated for varied electrochemical scenarios. © 2012 American Physical Society. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/50963 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevB.85.024106 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1103/PhysRevB.85.024106 issn: 1098-0121 |
