abstract = {Ferroelectric polycrystalline hafnium oxide films hold
great promise for the electronics industry, though an
understanding of ferroelectricity in this unconventional
material is still lacking. Here, by an in situ synchrotron
X-ray microdiffraction experiment, we reveal an important
role of reversible and irreversible ferroelastic switching
in the mechanism of polarization reversal in a 10 nm thick
Hf$_{0.5}$Zr$_{0.5}$O$_2$ film and in the origin of the so
called wake-up effect consisting in a gradual increase in
the remanent polarization of as-prepared memory structures.
During the wake-up, the oblique polar axis irreversibly
rotates in some ferroelectric orthorhombic grains and
becomes more vertical on average in the film, which is the
mechanism of the increase in measured polarization. This
effect originates from the tensile stress emerging in the
film during crystallization annealing and its gradual
decrease via the rearrangement of the crystal lattice, which
is consistent with first-principles calculations. In the
woken-up structures, the polar axis also rotates during
polarization switching, but reversibly, which means a
different crystal structure of Hf$_{0.5}$Zr$_{0.5}$O$_2$ in
the upward and downward polarization states and breaking the
inversion symmetry. The results provide insight into
fundamentals of ferroelectric hafnium oxide and points the
way for intelligent material engineering in the field of
ferroelectrics-based devices.},
