The oxidation conditions induce a switching between ($\\bar{1}11$) and (002) texture of hafnium oxide. The band gap of oxygen deficient hafnia decreases with increasing amount of oxygen vacancies by more than 1 eV. For high oxygen vacancy concentrations, defect bands form inside the band gap that induce optical transitions and $p$-type conductivity. The resistivity changes by several orders of magnitude as a function of oxidation conditions.
