Metrology of electrothermal coupling for new functional materials technology | Réseau National de la Métrologie Française

New piezoelectric and electrocaloric materials have recently been formulated and can be used at high temperatures (up to 800°C).

Objectives

To develop metrological tools to study the couplings between thermal, mechanical and electrical phenomena in piezoelectric and electrocaloric materials, at high temperature and under high electric field
