Abstract

Hafnia (HfO<sub>2</sub> )-zirconia (ZrO<sub>2</sub> ) solid solution films show giant positive (ΔT = 13.4 K) and negative (ΔT = -10.8 K) electrocaloric effects that can be simply controlled by tuning the Hf/Zr ratio. It is expected that the combination of the electrocaloric effects with opposite signs in this lead-free, simple, binary oxide can significantly improve the efficiency of electrocaloric cooling.
