Large electrocaloric effect in Ba(Ti1−xSnx)O3 ceramics over a broad temperature region

A large electrocaloric effect (ECE) near room temperature is reported in Sn doped BaTiO3 ceramics. By tuning Ba(Ti1−xSnx)O3 compositions which also exhibit relaxor ferroelectric response to near the invariant critical point, the Ba(Ti1−xSnx)O3 bulk ceramics at x ∼ 0.12 exhibit a large EC coefficient...
