Direct Measurement of Pyroelectric and Electrocaloric Effects in Thin Films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An understanding of polarization-heat interactions in pyroelectric and electrocaloric thin-film materials requires that the electrothermal response is reliably characterized.

Direct Observation of Electric‐Field‐Driven Phase Transitions Associated with Energy Storage in Antiferroelectric Films

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
The electric‐field‐driven antiferroelectric‐to‐ferroelectric phase transition in epitaxial PbZrO3 films is directly visualized by in situ aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. A sequential transition pathway involving an orthorhombic ferrielectric phase and a monoclinic ferroelectric phase, ultimately stabilizing into a ...

Giant negative electrocaloric effect in B-site non-stoichiometric (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.95Ti0.05)1+yO3 anti-ferroelectric ceramics

open access: yesMaterials Research Letters, 2018
A negative electrocaloric effect (ECE) in B-site non-stoichiometric (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 antiferroelectric ceramics synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction method is investigated via indirect and direct measurements.

The electrocaloric effect in BaTiO$_3$ at all three ferroelectric transitions: anisotropy and inverse caloric effects

open access: yes, 2017
We study the electrocaloric (EC) effect in bulk BaTiO$_3$ (BTO) using molecular dynamics simulations of a first principles-based effective Hamiltonian, combined with direct measurements of the adiabatic EC temperature change in BTO single crystals.

Preparation and field-induced electrical properties of perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
(111)-oriented and random oriented Pb0.8Ba0.2ZrO3 (PBZ) perovskite relaxor ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt(111)/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrate by sol-gel method.

Electric Field‐Induced Phase Transition Behaviour in Sodium Bismuth Titanate‐Based Ceramics

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review establishes a framework correlating NBT‐based ceramic performance with geometric descriptors: tolerance factors and octahedral tilt strength. It rationalises transitions between ergodic and non‐ergodic relaxor states across major solid solutions.

Control of Covalent Bond Enables Efficient Magnetic Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
Giant and reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is achieved by tuning covalency through sub‐unit‐cell chemical engineering, establishing a novel design principle for effective hysteresis control in magnetocaloric materials. Abstract Magnetic cooling, harnessing the temperature change in matter when exposed to a magnetic field, presents an energy ...
