The proton ordering model for the KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ type ferroelectrics is modified by taking into account the dependence of the effective dipole moments on the proton ordering parameter. Within the four-particle cluster approximation we…
For Sn$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ ferroelectrics the second order phase transitions line is observed until reaching the tricritical point at transition temperature lowering to 250 K by compression. Observed temperature-pressure phase diagram agrees with…
Single-crystalline ferroelectric (FE) perovskites show a large electrocaloric effect at electric field-induced phase transitions, promising for solid-state cooling technologies. However, paraelectric-FE transition temperatures are often too…
An atomistic effective Hamiltonian is used to investigate electrocaloric (EC) effects of Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ (PMN) relaxor ferroelectrics in its ergodic regime, and subject to electric fields applied along the pseudocubic [111]…
The electrocaloric (EC) effect offers a promising energy-efficient and clean cooling technology. We present the first direct measurements of EC temperature change in a new family of EC fluids, ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs),…
The electrocaloric (EC) effect is calculated for Gd-substituted PMN (x = 0 to 0.1) relaxors from temperature dependent heat capacity and polarization measurements, using a thermodynamic Maxwell equation. Polarization change with temperature…
The electrocaloric (EC) effect is the reversible change in temperature and/or entropy of a material when it is subjected to an adiabatic electric field change. Our tight-binding calculations linked to Fermi statistics, show that the EC…
Solid-state cooling and energy harvesting via pyroelectric effect (PEE) and electrocaloric effect (ECE) in ferroelectric thin films could be enhanced beyond their intrinsic ferroelectric response by exploiting the recently observed…
Ferroelectric perovskite oxides possess a large electrocaloric (EC) effect, but usually at high temperatures near the ferroelectric/paraelectric phase transition temperature, which limits their potential application as next-generation…
The coexistence of multiple structural phases and field induced short-range to long-range order transition in ferroelectric materials, leads to a strong electrocaloric effect (ECE) and electrical energy storage density (Wrec) in the…
We experimentally investigate thermoelectric response of a 100~nm thick SnSe single crystal flake under the current-induced dc electric field. Thermoelectric response appears as a second-harmonic transverse voltage $V_{xy}^{2\omega}$, which…
We report modifications of the ferroelectric and electrocaloric properties of BaTiO$_3$ by defects. For this purpose, we have combined \textit{ab initio}-based molecular dynamics simulations with a simple model for defects. We find that…
Magnetoelectric properties of a coupled spin-electron model on a doubly decorated square lattice in an external electric field applied along the crystallographic axis [11] are rigorously examined with the help of generalized…
The proton ordering model for the KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ type ferroelectrics is modified by taking into account non-linear effects, namely, the dependence of the effective dipole moments on the proton ordering parameter. Within the four-particle…
We describe magneto-, baro- and elastocaloric effects (MCEs, BCEs and eCEs) in materials which possess both discontinuous (first-order) and continuous (second-order) magnetic phase transitions. Our ab initio theory of the interacting…
We investigate the ferroelectric phase transition and domain formation in a periodic superlattice consisting of alternate ferroelectric (FE) and paraelectric (PE) layers of nanometric thickness. We find that the polarization domains formed…
We present a phenomenological model of periodic ferroelectric-superconductor (FE-S) heterostructures containing two alternating ferroelectric and superconducting layers. The interaction at the FE-S contacts is described as a coupling of the…
X-ray diffraction experiments were performed on polycrystalline and single-crystal specimens of Ce$_{2}$Fe$_{17}$ at temperatures between 10 K and 300 K. Below $T_{\mathrm{t}}$ = 118$\pm$2 K, additional weak superstructure reflections were…
Magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was investigated in the single crystal of CsGd(MoO$_4$)$_2$ in the temperature range from 2 to 30 K and fields up to 5 T applied along the easy and hard magnetic axis. The analysis of specific heat and…
The elastocaloric effect (ECE) is a thermodynamic quantity relating changes in entropy to changes in strain experienced by a material. As such, ECE measurements can provide valuable information about the entropy landscape proximate to…
