Magnetically driven thermal changes in magnetocaloric materials have, for several decades,
been exploited to pump heat near room temperature. By contrast, their electrocaloric and …

A magnetically, electrically or mechanically responsive material can undergo significant
thermal changes near a ferroic phase transition when its order parameter is modified by the …

Electrocaloric cooling technologies, enabled by the discovery of the giant electrocaloric
effect in dielectrics more than a decade ago, represents a zero-global-warming-potential …

It has been ten years since the discovery of the giant electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric
materials showed that it is possible to employ this effect for substantial cooling applications …

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even
quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably …

This book provides the basis for engineering a new, alternative form of technology, ie,
magnetocaloric energy conversion. It has been written for postgraduate students, engineers …

The recent finding of large electrocaloric effect in several ferroelectric polymers creates
unique opportunity for developing compact size solid state cooling cycles beyond the …

Caloric materials are in the spotlight as candidates for future environmentally friendly
cooling technologies. We describe stimulating recent developments in the three caloric …

Perovskite oxides show an amazing diversity of electronic and magnetic properties along
