Electrocaloric effects have not hitherto been experimentally studied at a phase transition created by strain. It is now shown that the continuous transition created by epitaxial strain in strontium titanate films greatly enhances electrocaloric effects over a wide range of temperatures, including room temperature.

应变产生的相变的电热效应

迄今为止，尚未对由应变产生的相变进行电热效应的实验研究。现在表明，钛酸锶薄膜中的外延应变产生的连续转变极大地增强了包括室温在内的宽温度范围内的电热效应。
