Tunable electrocaloric effect in lead scandium tantalate through calcium doping

Youri Nouchokgwe, Natalya S. Fedorova, Pranab Biswas +11

State-of-the-art electrocaloric cooling prototypes rely on the conventional electrocaloric effect of ferroelectric lead scandium tantalate (PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3, PST), which peaks near r…

History-dependent and frequency-dependent dielectric nonlinearities induced by polar nanoregions in a thin film of 0.5 ( Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 TiO 3 ) -- 0.5 ( BaZr 0.2 Ti 0.8 O 3 )

Kevin Nadaud, Guillaume Nataf, Nazir Jaber +3

In this article, dielectric nonlinearities in 0.5(Ba0.7 Ca0.3 TiO3 ) -- 0.5(BaZr 0.2 Ti0.8 O3 ) thin film are studied using impedance spectroscopy and harmonic measurements, as a f…

Domain-wall driven suppression of thermal conductivity in a ferroelectric polycrystal

Rachid Belrhiti-Nejjar, Manuel Zahn, Patrice Limelette +8

A common strategy for reducing thermal conductivity of polycrystalline systems is to increase the number of grain boundaries. Indeed, grain boundaries enhance the probability of ph…
