Coulometric measurements on salt-water-immersed nanoporous carbon electrodes reveal, at a fixed voltage, a charge decrease with increasing temperature. During far-out-of-equilibrium charging of these electrodes, calorimetry indicates the…

The existence and feasibility of the multicaloric, polycrystalline material 0.8Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.2Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3, exhibiting magnetocaloric and electrocaloric properties, are demonstrated. Both the electrocaloric and magnetocaloric…

The electrocaloric effect (ECE) in BaTiO3 is simulated using two different first-principles based effective Hamiltonian molecular dynamics methods. The calculations are performed for a wide range of temperatures (30--900 K) and external…

Thermoelectric materials (TMs) can uniquely convert waste heat into electricity, which provides a potential solution for the global energy crisis that is increasingly severe. Bulk Cu2Se, with ionic conductivity of Cu ions, exhibits a…

We report optical enhancement in polarization and dielectric constant near room temperature in Pb0.6Li0.2Bi0.2Zr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PLBZT) electro-ceramics; these are doubly substituted members of the most important commercial ferroelectric…

First principle calculations are performed to investigate the effect of polar order strength on the thermoelectric (TE) properties of GeTe alloy in its rhombohedral structure. The variation in the polarization state using various…

We present the temperature and layer dependent electronic structure of a 20-layer EuS(100)-film using a combination of first-principles and model calculation, the latter based on the ferromagnetic Kondo-lattice. The calculated…

Thermoelectric power, electrical conductivity, and high field Hall effect were studied over a broad temperature range in ferromagnetic Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epitaxial layers (0.015<x<0.06). Thermoelectric power analysis gives the information about…

Anomalous electrocaloric effect (ECE) with decreasing temperature upon application of an electric field is known to occur in antiferroelectrics (AFEs), and previous understanding refers to the field-induced canting of electric dipoles if…

An atomistic effective Hamiltonian is used to compute electrocaloric (EC) effects in rare-earth substituted BiFeO$_{3}$ multiferroics. A phenomenological model is then developed to interpret these computations, with this model indicating…

Two dimensional ferroic materials exhibit a variety of functional properties that can be tuned by temperature and pressure. CuInP2S6 is a layered material that is ferrielectric at room temperature and whose properties are a result of the…

The extraordinary properties of a heterostructure by stacking atom-thick van der Waals (vdW) magnets have been extensively studied. However, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of heterostructures that are based on monolayer magnets remains to…

The low-dimensional ferroelectrics, ferrielectrics and antiferroelectrics are of urgent scientific interest due to their unusual polar, piezoelectric, electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties. The strain engineering and strain control of…

Loosely packed granular materials are intensively studied nowadays. Electrical and thermal transport properties should reflect the granular structure as well as intrinsic properties. We have compacted crystalline $CaAl$ based metallic…

Mechanocaloric materials experience a change in temperature when a mechanical stress is adiabatically applied on them. Thus far, only ferroelectrics and superelastic metallic alloys have been considered as potential mechanocaloric compounds…

Using first-principles calculations we model the out-of-plane switching of local dipoles in CuInP$_2$S$_6$ (CIPS) that are largely induced by Cu off-centering. Previously, a coherent switching of polarization via a quadruple-well potential…
