We demonstrated the superior electrocaloric effect (ECE) in BaTiO3 multilayer structure. The sample fabricated by tape-casting process has 120 effective ferroelectric layers with average layer thickness of 1.7 μm. The ferroelectric hysteresis loops were measured in the temperature range from 30 to 180 oC, and then the temperature dependences of ECE adiabatic temperature change and heat absorption were obtained according to Maxwell relation. A peak ECE adiabatic temperature change of 0.027 K/V and heat absorption of 0.36 J/g were observed near the ferroelectric phase transition at 125 oC under Vmax=25 V. The BaTiO3 thick film can sustain an external electric field (>500 kV/cm) several times higher than bulk ferroelectric ceramics (~30 kV/cm). Although the EC coefficient of BaTiO3 is much lower than lead-based ferroelectric ceramics, the ultrahigh working electric field endows it a large ECE, higher than that of most reported lead-based ferroelectric ceramics. In addition, the lead-free composition provides it a promising future in solid-state cooling technology.

The electrocaloric effect of (K1−xNax)NbO3 single crystal is calculated based on Landau-Devonshire theory. The electrocaloric coefficient and adiabatic temperature change are calculated with the variation of temperature in rhombohedral, orthorhombic and tetragonal phase. A maximum of electrocaloric coefficient is obtained in each ferroelectric phase. Moreover, the tetragonal phase presents the larger electrocaloric coefficient and adiabatic temperature change than that rhombohedral and orthorhombic phase. However, the large electrocaloric effect is also obtained at room temperature with the adiabatic temperature change of 0.5 K, which tallies with the experimental findings.

In this paper, the magnetocaloric properties of Gd1−xTbx alloys were studied and the optimum composition was determined to be Gd0.73Tb0.27. On the basis of Gd0.73Tb0.27, the influence of different Fe-doping content was discussed and the effect of heat treatment was also investigated. The adiabatic temperature change (ΔTad) obtained by the direct measurement method (under a low magnetic field of 1.2 T) and specific heat capacity calculation method (indirect measurement) was used to characterize the magnetocaloric properties of Gd1−xTbx (x = 0~0.4) and (Gd0.73Tb0.27)1−yFey (y = 0~0.15), and the isothermal magnetic entropy (ΔSM) was also used as a reference parameter for evaluating the magnetocaloric properties of samples together with ΔTad. In Gd1−xTbx alloys, the Curie temperature (Tc) decreased from 293 K (x = 0) to 257 K (x = 0.4) with increasing Tb content, and the Gd0.73Tb0.27 alloy obtained the best adiabatic temperature change, which was ~3.5 K in a magnetic field up to 1.2 T (Tc = 276 K). When the doping content of Fe increased from y = 0 to y = 0.15, the Tc of (Gd0.73Tb0.27)1−yFey (y = 0~0.15) alloys increased significantly from 276 K (y = 0) to 281 K (y = 0.15), and a good magnetocaloric effect was maintained. The annealing of alloys (Gd0.73Tb0.27)1−yFey (y = 0~0.15) at 1073 K for 10 h resulted in an average increase of 0.3 K in the maximum adiabatic temperature change and a slight increase in Tc. This study is of great significance for the study of magnetic refrigeration materials with adjustable Curie temperature in a low magnetic field.
