Determination of optimal reversed field with maximal electrocaloric cooling by a direct entropy analysis

Yang-Bin Ma, Nikola Novak, Karsten Albe +1

Application of a negative field on a positively poled ferroelectric sample can enhance the electrocaloric cooling and appears as a promising method to optimize the electrocaloric c…

State transition and electrocaloric effect of BaZrTiO: simulation and experiment

Yang-Bin Ma, Christian Molin, Vladimir V. Shvartsman +4

The electrocaloric effect (ECE) of BaZrTiO (BZT) is closely related to the relaxor state transition of the materials. This work presents a systematic study on the…

Enhancement of the electrocaloric cooling by electric field reversal: simulation and experiment

Yang-Bin Ma, Nikola Novak, Jurij Koruza +3

An improved thermodynamic cycle is proposed, where the cooling effect of an electrocaloric refrigerant is enhanced by applying a reversed electric field. In contrast to conventiona…

Positive and negative electrocaloric effect in BaTiO in the presence of defect dipoles

Yang-Bin Ma, Anna Grünebohm, Kai-Christian Meyer +2

The influence of defect dipoles on the electrocaloric effect (ECE) in acceptor doped BaTiO is studied by means of lattice-based Monte-Carlo simulations. A Ginzburg-Landau type…
