Abstract:
A contactless technique for direct time-resolved measurements of the full dynamics of the adiabatic temperature change in electrocaloric materials is introduced. The infrared radiation emitted by the electrocaloric sample is sensitively detected with μs time resolution and mK temperature resolution. We present time-resolved measurements of the electrocaloric effect up to kHz frequencies of the driving electric field and down to small field strengths. The simultaneous recording of transients for applied electric field and induced polarization gives a comprehensive view of the correlation of electrocaloric and ferroelectric properties. The technique can further be applied to the continuous measurement of fatigue for >106 electric field cycles.
