Inverse barocaloric effects in ferroelectric BaTiO3 ceramics [PDF]
APL Materials, 2016 We use calorimetry to identify pressure-driven isothermal entropy changes in ceramic samples of the prototypical ferroelectric BaTiO3. Near the structural phase transitions at ∼400 K (cubic-tetragonal) and ∼280 K (tetragonal-orthorhombic), the inverse ...
