Influence of grain size on the electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties in non-reducible BaTiO3 ceramics

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
The present work demonstrates the effect of the grain size on electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties in BaTiO3-based ceramics prepared by a chemical coating method and then sintered in a reducing atmosphere at different temperatures.

Large electrocaloric effect in lead-free ferroelectric Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 thin film heterostructure

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2021
A large electrocaloric effect is reported in a strain-engineered Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCZT) thin film heterostructure driven by the near room-temperature electro-structural phase transition.

The impact of hysteresis on the electrocaloric effect at first-order phase transitions

open access: yes, 2017
We study the impact of thermal hysteresis at the first-order structural/ferroelectric phase transitions on the electrocaloric response in bulk BaTiO$_3$ by performing molecular dynamics simulations for a first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian.

Direct measurement of electrocaloric effect in lead-free Ba(SnxTi1-x)O3 ceramics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, we report on investigation of the electrocaloric (EC) effect in lead-free Ba(SnxTi1-x)O3 (BSnT) ceramics with compositions in the range of 0.08 ≤ x ≤ 0.15 by the direct measurement method using a differential scanning calorimeter.

Large electrocaloric effects in single-crystal ammonium sulfate [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016
Electrocaloric (EC) effects are typically studied near phase transitions in ceramic and polymer materials. Here, we investigate EC effects in an inorganic salt, namely ammonium sulfate (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , with an order–disorder transition whose onset occurs at 223 K on ...

Indirect Evaluation of the Electrocaloric Effect in PbZrTiO3 (20/80)-Based Epitaxial Thin Film Structures

open access: yesElectronic Materials, 2022
Electrocaloric effect is the adiabatic temperature change in a dielectric material when an electric field is applied or removed, and it can be considered as an alternative refrigeration method. Materials with ferroelectric order exhibit large temperature

Step-like features on caloric effects of graphenes

open access: yes, 2014
We considered a graphene nano-ribbon with a longitudinal electric field (along $x$ direction) and a transversal magnetic field (along $z$ direction), and then observe (i) the electrocaloric effect ruled by an applied magnetic field and (ii) the ...

Perturbative approach to electrocaloric effects

open access: yes, 2020
We show that the electrocaloric (EC) effect -- e.g., the temperature change experienced by an insulator upon application of an electric bias -- lends itself to a straightforward interpretation when expressed as a Taylor series in the external field. Our formalism explains in a unified and simple way the most notable small-field effects reported the ...
