To experimentally determine the spontaneous polarization of HfO2, it is essential to fabricate films with the short axis containing the polarization direction oriented out-of-plane, i.e., (010)/(001) orientation. Our previous study demonstrated that aligning the in-plane long axis of the film with the underlying layer promotes out-of-plane alignment of the short axis. In this study, we attempted to control the crystal orientation using various lanthanide-doped HfO2 films, which are expected to exhibit different lattice parameters due to the variation in ionic radii of the dopants.
