Ferroelastic Domain Switching and Time-Resolved Negative Capacitance in Polar-Axis-Oriented Hf<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>0.5</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Grown by Atomic Layer Epitaxy

Abstract
Ferroelectric properties of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 are strongly correlated with its crystallographic orientation, with the [001] direction serving as the polar axis. However, the epitaxial growth of highly polar-axis-oriented Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 layers with pronounced ferroelectricity is rarely reported. Here epitaxial (001)-oriented Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin films grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) is demonstrated, which achieve a state-of-the-art ferroelectric polarization up to 78.9 µC cm-2. The epitaxial Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 layer experiences a lattice reorientation from (010) to (001) during the wake-up process, as evidenced by plane-view precession electron diffraction. Accordingly, a two-step, 90° ferroelastic domain switching model is proposed to elucidate multiple polarization switching. Furthermore, the observed polarization switching dynamics closely match with the time-resolved negative capacitance, which is quantified as an equivalent high dielectric constant of -170. This study highlights the capability of ALE to precisely control the crystallographic orientation of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin films, providing deep insights into fundamental ferroelectric mechanisms.
