摘要: Electrical properties, i.e., dielectric hysteresis and leakage current, of epitaxial Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 films with bottom SrRuO3 electrode different metals as top contact were investigated. The current is largely insensitive to the work function metal but increases decreasing electronegativity well number electrons on d-shell metal. best rectifying properties are obtained for complete (Cu, Au, Ag, Pd), while few (Ta, Cr) form Ohmic-like contacts.
