The electrocaloric (EC) effect is an adiabatic and reversible temperature change that occurs
in a polar material upon application of an electric field. The current intensive research in EC …

Ferroelectrics, with their spontaneous switchable electric polarization and strong coupling
between their electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical responses, provide functionalities …

Recent progress on caloric effects are reviewed. The application of external stimuli such as
magnetic field, hydrostatic pressure, uniaxial stress and electric field give rise respectively to …

This paper deals with small-power energy harvesting from heat. It can be achieved using
both thermoelectric and pyroelectric effects. In the first case, temperature gradients are …

Both the pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects originate from the cross-coupling between
polarization and temperature in insulating dielectrics. Although both effects have been …

We demonstrate the electrocaloric effect (ECE) of Na0. 5Bi0. 5TiO3–BaTiO3 (NBT–BT) lead-
free ferroelectric ceramics, which were fabricated by the solid-state reaction method. Based …

In the framework of microgenerators, we present in this paper the key points for energy
harvesting from temperature using ferroelectric materials. Thermoelectric devices profit from …

The electrocaloric effect (ECE), ie, the conversion of electric energy into heat, is of great
importance for application in new generation cooling or heating devices that would be …

The electrocaloric effect (ECE), ie, the conversion of the electric into the thermal energy has
recently become of great importance for development of a new generation of cooling …

We report the discovery of serendipitous electrocaloric (EC) effects in commercial multilayer
capacitors based on ferroelectric BaTiO 3. Direct thermometry records∼ 0.5 K changes due …
