Using Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire approach and available experimental results we reconstruct the thermodynamic potential of layered ferroelectric CuInP$_2$S$_6$ (CIPS), which is expected to be applicable a wide range temperatures applied pressures. The analysis temperature dependences dielectric permittivity lattice constants for different pressures unexpectedly reveals critically important role...

Magneto-electric coupling is a desirable property for material used in modern electronic devices to possess due the favorable possibilities of tuning properties using magnetic field and vice versa. However, such materials are rare nature. That why so-called superlattice approach creating receiving so much attention. In approach, functionality combined heterostructure depends on interacting comp...

Abstract Caloric cooling is an attractive family of technologies owing to their environmental friendliness and potential for higher efficiency than present refrigeration systems. Cooling devices based on the electrocaloric (EC) effect specifically have added benefit being easily miniaturized, enabling applications in electronic thermal management, wearables localized cooling. A challenge prior ...
