We present the results of studies of thermal expansion, heat capacity, permittivity, polarization and the influence of different thermal conditions on the intensive electrocaloric effect (ECE), [Formula: see text], in a commercial multilayer capacitor based on doped BaTiO3. Investigations in a wide temperature range revealed one anomaly in the behavior of the physical properties at about 290[Formula: see text]K characteristic for the relaxors. Direct measurements showed a high reversibility of ECE under equilibrium thermal conditions. Good agreement was found between the values of [Formula: see text] determined by direct and indirect measurements at the electric field up to 15.4[Formula: see text]kV/cm. Quasi-isothermal conditions lead, firstly, to decrease of large [Formula: see text]0.94[Formula: see text]K obtained in adiabatic conditions under [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kV/cm to 0.87[Formula: see text]K, and, secondly, the appearance of a difference between the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] determined when the electric field is applied and removed. Using this phenomenon and changing the frequency of the periodic electric field, [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kV/cm, the effect of cooling was obtained equal to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]K. The results obtained are useful for further development of the electrocaloric refrigeration technique without thermal switches.

The room temperature electrocaloric effect is researched for (110) oriented KNbO3 film based on Landau-Devonshire theory. The phase map with different ferroelectric states is built at room temperature with the considerations of thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and minimum of thermodynamic potential. Five ferroelectric structural phases are obtained theoretically. The negative in-plane misfit strains are conducive to form the tetragonal c phase and the positive strains are in favor of the stability of tetragonal a1 and a2 phases. The electrocaloric effect relies on both misfit strain and electric field. Moreover, large electrocaloric effect is achieved in the orthorhombic phases.

The frequencies and linewidths of spin waves in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) periodic superlattices of magnetic materials are found, using the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equations. The form of the exchange field from a surface-torque-free boundary between magnetic materials is derived, and magnetic-material combinations are identified which produce gaps in the magnonic spectrum across the entire superlattice Brillouin zone for hexagonal and square-symmetry superlattices. The magnon gaps and spin-wave dispersion properties of a uniform magnetic material under the influence of a periodic electric field are presented. Such results suggest the utility of magnetic insulators for electric-field control of spin-wave propagation properties.
