摘要
This paper demonstrates the impact of composition on the electrocaloric effect in lead-free (1 - x)BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3-xBa(0.7)Ca(0.3)TiO(3) ceramics, especially on the morphotropic phase boundary. The samples exhibited typical diffused ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition, which was diffused the most around the tricritical point of rhombohedral, tetragonal, and cubic phases at x = 0.3. The x = 0.3 sample had the highest Delta T-max of 0.30 K under 20 kV/cm field and the widest cooling peak within a wide composition range, which endowed it with the best refrigeration capacity. Although the x = 0.7 sample had even higher Delta T-max, less diffused phase transition narrowed the cooling peak, which reduced the refrigeration capacity. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
