Electrocaloric effects in the lead-free Ba(Zr,Ti)O${}_3$ relaxor ferroelectric from atomistic simulations

Zhijun Jiang, Sergei Prokhorenko, Sergey Prosandeev +5

Atomistic effective Hamiltonian simulations are used to investigate electrocaloric (EC) effects in the lead-free Ba(Zr${}_{0.5}$Ti${}_{0.5}$)O${}_3$ (BZT) relaxor ferroelectric. We fin…
