BT-13CH exhibits a large electrocaloric effect over a broad temperature range because of multiphase coexistence (MPC) with diffuse phase transition (DPT) character.

Lead-free Ba0.9Ca0.1Sn0.06Ti0.94-xZrxO3 (BCTSZ) ceramics where x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09 were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The dielectric constant of the Zr doped BCTS ceramic was enhanced by Zr incorporation. The maximum dielectric constant were obtained at the composition of x = 0.05. The dielectric property investigation indicated that the degree of the diffuse phase transition behavior increased with Zr substitution. Phase transition of tetragonal to cubic structure was significantly dependent on the amount of Zr added.

The frequency (100Hz–1MHz) and temperature (30–575°C) dependence of electrical properties of calcium doped (Ca = 0.01, 0.05, 0.1) sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) was investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The data is used to analyze the effect of calcium concentration on the electrical properties of NBT. The frequency explicit plots of Z′′ versus frequency at various temperatures shows peaks in the higher temperature range (>400°C). The relaxation peaks are affected by the doping. The AC conductivity values are computed from the impedance data. DC conductivity has been measured in the temperature range of 30–400°C. The activation energies have been evaluated from the data. From the studies of dielectric constant as a function of temperature, it is observed that diffuse phase transition (DPT) is exhibited in these samples.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we analyze the requirement to (Ba,Ca)(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films for applications in electrocaloric devices. We demonstrate that large temperature changes are realized mostly independent of the used material by applying sufficient electric fields. Ferroelectrics exhibiting a diffuse phase transition are beneficial for electrocaloric applications, but they change the range of operational temperatures.
