Giant room temperature elastocaloric effect in metal-free thin-film perovskites

Abstract Solid-state refrigeration which is environmentally benign has attracted considerable attention. Mechanocaloric (mC) materials, in which the phase transitions can be induced by mechanical stresses, represent one of the most promising types of solid-state caloric materials. Herein, we have de...
