A prototype device was designed to demonstrate electrocaloric cooling of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 70/30 single crystals as active cooling elements. The test section was devised to investigate potential bulk cooling effects of the single-crystal materials under repeated electric-field cycles. Despite...
