Abstract: The article presents a study that explores the atomic-scale fatigue mechanism of ferroelectric tunnel junctions. It mentions about the atomic-scale fatigue mechanism of ultrathin ferroelectric barriers associated with the aggregation of charged defects, facilitating the design of reliable ferroelectric tunnel junctions and ferroelectric nanoelectronic devices for practical applications.
