Giant electrocaloric response in smectic liquid crystals with direct smectic-isotropic transition
Electrocaloric materials have become a viable technology for solid state heat management applications. We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that liquid crystals (LCs) can be exploited as efficient electrocaloric materials. Numerical and experimental investigations determine the condi...
