1.
Organic and inorganic relaxor ferroelectrics with giant electrocaloric effect

By diret measuremnts we demonstrated that in inorganic PLZT thin films and organic polymer ferroelectric the electrocaloric effect can exceed 40 K.

2.
Comparison of directly and indirectly measured electrocaloric effect in relaxor ferroelectric polymers

We show that indirect measurements do not give proper results of electrocaloric response in relaxor feroelectric polymers.

3.
Enhanced electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric poly(vinylidene-fluoride/trifluoroethylene) 55/45 mol % copolymer at ferroelectric-paraelectric transition

We show that the electrocaloric effect exhibits a maximum at the ferroelectric-paraelectric transition in ferroelectric poly(vinylidene-fluoride/trifluoroethylene) 55/45 mol % copolymer.

4.
High-resolution calorimetric study of Pb(Mg[sub](1/3)Nb[sub](2/3)O[sub]3 single crystal

We solve the decades old problem about the ground state of relaxor ferroelectrics by showing that it is the glassy state and not random-field frozen ferroelectric state.

Upper bounds on the electrocaloric effect in polar solids

We calculated theoretically the upper bond on the electrocaloric effect in polar solids
