A unified perturbative approach to electrocaloric effects

Theoretical treatments of electrocaloric effects, interesting for their potential use in refrigeration, are mostly case specific. Here, a perturbative approach provides a unified physical understanding of the normal and inverse electrocaloric response occurring in ferroelectrics and antiferroelectri...
