Abstract
Radiation-induced degradation of HfO2, ZrO2, LaAlO3, and NdAlO3 thin films was studied and compared based on a Fe55 X-ray source and Cs137 γ-ray source. After the X-ray exposure of a total dose of 100krad, negative VFB shifts were observed in these thin films, whereas after the γ-ray exposures of the same dose, positive VFB shifts was observed.
