Title: Correlation between cation order/disorder and the electrocaloric effect in the MLCCs of complex perovskite ferroelectrics

Abstract

The physical properties (dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, etc.) of complex perovskite ferroelectrics depend on the degree of order/disorder and the scale of the ordered domains. In this study, the electrocaloric (EC) properties of three representative complex perovskite ferroelectrics, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-8PbTiO3 (PMN-8PT), 1mol% Sm-doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-8PbTiO3 (1S-PMN-8PT) and Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O3 (PST) are evaluated. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with identical structural configurations were fabricated for these three compounds, and their EC properties were characterized by direct measurement using a thermocouple. The EC temperature change of PMN-8PT, 1S-PMN-8PT and PST MLCCs under 20 V μm–1 at room temperature were found to be 1.42 K, 1.54 K, and 3.10 K, respectively. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy data suggests that the high EC performance of PST is related to the ordering of B-site cations (Sc3+ and Ta5+) with the ordering parameter S = 0.82 and a long coherence length of ~100 nm, such that the sample transitioned from a relaxor ferroelectric to a normal ferroelectric. Furthermore, these results provide pathway towards design of high performance EC materials required for solid state refrigeration and air-conditioning technologies.
