Final Report: Engineering Ferroic and Multiferroic Materials for Active Cooling Applications

Abstract

The objectives of this research program are to develop a deeper understanding of the physics and thermodynamics of thermo-electrical responses in complex oxide materials with special attention to producing enhanced pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects. In particular, the program will focus on the application of such effects for advanced solid-state cooling devices. This will be achieved by implementation of a combined modeling, synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication approach and the development of a unique materials designprotocol. In particular the program will work to answer the central question: what are the key materials properties that provide us with the ability to manipulate and control the temperature- and field-dependence of entropic changes required for thermo-electrical response in ferroic oxides?
