研究目的
Investigating the role of ferroelastic domains on the pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects in ferroelectric thin films.
研究成果
The work demonstrates that ferroelastic domains significantly influence the pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects in ferroelectric thin films, with compressive strain diminishing these effects and tensile strain enhancing them. This provides insights into strain-controlled pathways for enhancing electrothermal susceptibilities in thin-film ferroelectrics.
研究不足
The study is limited to thin films of PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 under specific epitaxial strain conditions. The experimental challenges associated with measuring these physical phenomena may affect the comprehensiveness of the results.
