Popis: The hafnate perovskites PbHfO3 (antiferroelectric) and SrHfO3 ("potential" ferroelectric) are studied as epitaxial thin films on SrTiO3 (001) substrates with the added opportunity of observing a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in the Pb1- x Srx HfO3 system. The resulting (240)-oriented PbHfO3 (Pba2) films exhibited antiferroelectric switching with a saturation polarization ≈53 µC cm-2 at 1.6 MV cm-1 , weak-field dielectric constant ≈186 at 298 K, and an antiferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition at ≈518 K. (002)-oriented SrHfO3 films exhibited neither ferroelectric behavior nor evidence of a polar P4mm phase . Instead, the SrHfO3 films exhibited a weak-field dielectric constant ≈25 at 298 K and no signs of a structural transition to a polar phase as a function of temperature (77-623 K) and electric field (-3 to 3 MV cm-1 ). While the lack of ferroelectric order in SrHfO3 removes the potential for MPB, structural and property evolution of the Pb1- x Srx HfO3 (0 ≤ x
