Abstract

The electrocaloric heat production in \(\hbox {BaTiO}_3\)-based multilayer ceramic capacitors with Y5V specification was measured in a direct way by means of an adiabatic calorimeter setup. Applying an electric field of 30 \(\hbox {MV}\,\hbox {m}^{-1}\) is found to result in a heat release of 0.94 \(\hbox {J}\,\hbox {g}^{-1}\) and an electrocaloric temperature change of 0.46 K, in good agreement with direct results in previous studies.
