Charge-polarization coupling in the nanostructure "thin Hfx_xZr1−x_{1-x}O2_2 film - graphene"

To describe the charge-polarization coupling in the nanostructure formed by a thin Hf$_x$Zr$_{1-x}$O$_2$ film with a single-layer graphene as a top electrode, we develop the phenomenological effective Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire model. This approach is based on the parametrization of the Landau expansion coefficients for the polar and antipolar orderings in thin Hf$_x$Zr$_{1-x}$O$_2$ films from a limited number of polarization-field curves and hysteresis loops. The Landau expansion coefficients are nonlinearly dependent on the film thickness $h$ and Zr/[Hf+Zr] ratio $x$, in contrast to h-independent and linearly $x$-dependent expansion coefficients of a classical Landau energy. We explain the dependence of the Landau expansion coefficients by the strong nonmonotonic dependence of the Hf$_x$Zr$_{1-x}$O$_2$ film polar properties on the film thickness, grain size and surface energy. The proposed Landau free energy with five "effective" expansion coefficients, which are interpolation functions of $x$ and $h$, describes the continuous transformation of polarization dependences on applied electric field and hysteresis loop shapes induced by the changes of $x$ and $h$ in the range $0 < x < 1$ and 5 nm < $h$ < 35 nm. Using this effective free energy, we demonstrated that the polarization of Hf$_x$Zr$_{1-x}$O$_2$ film influences strongly on the graphene conductivity, and the full correlation between the distribution of polarization and charge carriers in graphene is revealed. In accordance with our modeling, the polarization of the (5 - 25) nm thick Hf$_x$Zr$_{1-x}$O$_2$ films, which are in the ferroelectric-like or antiferroelectric-like states for the chemical compositions $0.35 < x < 0.95$, determine the concentration of carriers in graphene and can control its field dependence. The result can be promising for creation of next generation Si-compatible nonvolatile memories and graphene-ferroelectric FETs.Comment: 30 pages including 8 figures and 1 Appendix with 2 figure

Family Members\u27 Influence on Family Meal Vegetable Choices

Objective—Characterize the process of family vegetable selection (especially cruciferous, deep orange, and dark green leafy vegetables); demonstrate the usefulness of Exchange Theory (how family norms and past experiences interact with rewards and costs) for interpreting the data. Design—Eight focus groups, two with each segment (men/women vegetable-likers/dislikers based on a screening form). Participants completed a vegetable intake form. Setting—Rural Appalachian Pennsylvania. Participants—61 low-income, married/cohabiting men (n=28) and women (n=33). Analysis—Thematic analysis within Exchange Theory framework for qualitative data. Descriptive analysis, t-tests and chi-square tests for quantitative data. Results—Exchange Theory proved useful for understanding that regardless of sex or vegetable liker/ disliker status, meal preparers see more costs than rewards to serving vegetables. Past experience plus expectations of food preparer role and of deference to family member preferences supported a family norm of serving only vegetables acceptable to everyone. Emphasized vegetables are largely ignored due to unfamiliarity; family norms prevented experimentation and learning through exposure. Conclusions and Implications—Interventions to increase vegetable consumption of this audience could 1) alter family norms about vegetables served, 2) change perceptions of past experiences, 3) reduce social and personal costs of serving vegetables and 4) increase tangible and social rewards of serving vegetables
