Popis: We discuss the role of defects in metal oxides (mostly in strontium hafnate, barium hafnate and barium zirconate). The discussion is based on macroscopic and microscopic (C-AFM) electrical meas-urements, ab initio calculations for formation energies and elec-tronic structure of defects, numerical simulations of trap-assisted leakage, and on additional data provided by SIMS and X-ray tech-niques. We argue that moisture may be a hazardous contaminant.
