abstract = {In the past decade, oxide-based heterostructures have been
studied extensively as potentially attractive systems for
applications in nanoelectronics. Among them, ferroelectric
materials raised interest as potential support for those
technological applications. Indeed, their spontaneous
electric polarization easily switched by applying an
electric field makes them a good basis for non-volatile data
storage. Switching the polarization requires a metallic
contact with an electrode, thus heterostructures of
ferroelectric thin films with metallic electrodes have been
widely studied. At the interface between those two
materials, free charges of the electrode help screening the
polarization induced surface charges detrimental to
maintaining proper polarization in the ferroelectric thin
film. With metallic oxide electrodes, an ionic displacement
at the electrode/ferroelectric interface will help the
screening, bringing this interface at the core of the
screening process. However, despite important theoretical
discoveries, direct experimental data is scarce and the
behavior of the electrode/ferroelectric interface is still
only partially understood. Further understanding is crucial
for a proper integration of ferroelectric films in
functioning nanometer-sized devices. In this thesis,
photoemission spectroscopy based techniques are used to
probe the buried interface of an
electrode/BaTiO$_{3}$/electrode heterostructure, for two
different top electrodes: the metallic oxide SrRuO$_{3}$ and
the Co metal. Combining operando hard X-ray photoemission
spectroscopy, hard X-ray photoemission electron microscopy
and time-resolved experiments, we acquired information on
the behavior of the interface and its response to
polarization switching. The work presented is a new step
towards a complete understanding on the behavior of the
interface between electrodes and ferroelectric materials, in
the case of electrode / BaTiO$_{3}$ / electrode
heterostructures, in terms of electronic properties,
kinetic, and fatigue. The three experiments presented
combined state of the art characterization techniques, where
the use of hard X-rays and in situ bias application made it
possible to resolve the difficult task of probing buried
interfaces in working conditions.},
