Physical properties of self-polarized PbZr1-xTixO3thin films with no preferential orientation were reported at 0.46 x 0.50 compositions. Structural analysis reveals coexistence between monoclinic-tetragonal and monoclinic-rhombohedral phases at 0.46 x 0.49, where the monoclinic phase is in majority over both tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The dielectric permittivity (ε ́ = 447) shows a maximum at around x = 0.48. Asymmetries on macroscopic and local hysteresis loops confirm the self-polarization effect in the studied films.
