Congratulations to Dr. Sanjeev Nayak
First Place Poster Award ICACC 2020
Tulsi Patel and Dr. Hamidreza Khassaf Publish in JAP
Dr. Hamidreza Khassaf and PhD student Tulsi Patel publish their work on flexocaloric responses in ferroelectric films in the Journal of Applied Physics. They consider the flexocaloric adiabatic temperature changes for various misfit strains including the one for prototypical barium titanate on strontium titanate.

Caloric Properties of Ferroelectrics
Hamidreza and Tulsi’s publish in Journal of Applied Physics their results on caloric response of ferroelectric materials. In this paper, they describe how adiabatic temperature changes can be enhanced by combining external stresses and electric fields. See Selected Publications.
