Type of internship
Expérimental Description
This internship focuses on the characterization of ferroelectric (FE) domains in hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) films. We propose to train the student to use several surface imaging techniques (piezoelectric force microscopy, PFM, low energy electron microscopy, LEEM, and x-ray photoemission electron microscopy, PEEM) for this purpose. The results from this study will allow understanding the effects of the metal electrode/FE layer interface in the polarization switching mechanisms.
