Abstract

A thermodynamic model is used to investigate the electrocaloric response of thin film perovskite ferroelectrics under the influence of differing electrical, thermal and mechanical boundary conditions including bias and driving field, temperature, lateral clamping and misfit strain. A comparison of the electrothermal properties of ferroelectric solid solutions comprised of BaTiO3, PbTiO3 and/or SrTiO3 illustrates the influence of composition on electrocaloric properties. Computations made for (001) textured polycrystalline BaTiO3 films on IC-friendly substrates quantify the effects of thermal stresses. The combined results provide insights concerning how the deposition temperature, substrate material and composition can be adjusted to obtain desired electrocaloric response.
