Tunable and temporally stable ferroelectric imprint through polarization   coupling
  Here we demonstrate a method to tune ferroelectric imprint, which is stable in time, based on the coupling between the non-switchable polarization of ZnO and switchable polarization of PbZrxTi(1-x)O3. SrRuO3/PbZrxTi(1-x)O3 /ZnO/SrRuO3 heterostructures were grown with different ZnO thicknesses. It is shown that the coercive voltages and ferroelectric imprint varies linearly with the thickness of ZnO. It is also demonstrated that the ferroelectric imprint remains stable with electric field cycling and electric field stress assisted aging.
