Fig. 4 — a The capacitance enhancement factor r = C_DE-AFE/C_DE in dielectric-antiferroelectric heterostructures with varying HfO₂ thickness as functions of the constituent dielectric capacitance C_DE. C_DE-AFE is the heterostructure capacitance. The best fit to the capacitance matching law: C_DE-AFE/C_DE = | C°_AFE | /( | C°_AFE | - C_DE) is obtained for C°_AFE = −4.75 µF cm⁻² at P = 16 µC cm^-2 with R² = 0.9986, which is plotted as the red line in a and b. b 1/C_DE-AFE is shown as a function of 1/C_DE. The intercept gives the inverse antiferroelectric capacitance 1/C°_AFE, which is negative. Note that the negative capacitance of ZrO₂ reported here is independent of C_DE.
