Abstract:An electrocaloric (EC) effect is the temperature change accompanied by the change in electric field intensity of a thermally isolated system. The EC effect is relatively new and a challenging research topic in the field of ferroelectric materials. In principle, the EC effect is analogous to magnetocaloric effect, and the latter utilizes magnetic fields to cool. A notable advantage of EC effect is the ease in generating large electric fields compared to magnetic fields. The EC refrigeration of ferroelectric mat… Show more
