Abstract: | A Landau-Devonshire thermodynamic theory is employed to investigate the effects of composition and misfit strain on the room-temperature electrocaloric effect of epitaxial Pb1-xSrxTiO3 thin films. The “temperature-misfit strain” phase diagrams with the Sr composition x of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 are constructed. The introduction of Sr composition reduces the Curie temperature greatly, and enhances the electrocaloric effect. Moreover, the electrocaloric effect largely depends on the misfit strain. Therefore, the Sr composition and the misfit strain can be controlled to obtain the giant room-temperature electrocaloric effect. |
