Abstract

In this chapter, the thermodynamic and kinetic origins of the unexpected ferroelectric phase formation in emerging fluorite-structure oxides such as HfO2 and ZrO2 are discussed. Various thermodynamic factors, such as doping, stress, and surface/interface/grain boundary energies, could affect the relative free energies of crystalline phases. However, several phenomena including the effects of annealing temperature could not be explained by thermodynamic factors. In this regard, a kinetic mechanism was recently suggested to understand the metastable ferroelectric phase formation. Previous studies on the mechanism of the ferroelectric phase formation are comprehensively critically reviewed to understand the unexpected ferroelectric phase formation.
