Abstract:Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and hafnium dioxide (HfO2) have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional ferroelectric materials. Understanding the crystal phases of these oxides under different conditions is crucial for optimizing their properties. While there are several theories for the (anti)ferroelectric properties, comprehensive analysis, particularly at the local structure level, is lacking. In this study, we investigate the local structure of ZrO2 nanocrystals using X-ray pair distribution function (… Show more
