Graded ferroelectric (GF) structures were obtained by successive deposition of Pb1-3y/2Lay(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O-3 films with different La contents on Pt/TiO2Si substrates. The method used for deposition was sol gel. The final structure consists of four layers, starting from the Pt electrode to the top gold electrode: (1) no La; (2) 4% La; (3) 8% La; and (4) 12% La. Ferroelectric properties of the GF structure were investigated, and an anomalous shift of the hysteresis loop along the polarization axis was found. The sense of this shift depends on the initial direction of the ferroelectric polarization. The presence of hysteresis displacement up or down can be explained if the presence of a built-in charge in the GF structure is admitted. The built-in potential produced by this charge is computed using a simple theoretical model. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)01040-8].
