The electrocaloric properties of multi-domain ferroelectrics are investigated using a phase field model. simulation results show that the extrinsic contribution from to mono-domain transition driven by temperature significantly enhances response. Due abrupt decrease polarization in direction electric during domain transition, large adiabatic change is achieved for subjected tensile strain. Furthermore, can be tuned external strains as temperature. A compressive strain decreases while...
