Mechanocaloric effects in superionic thin films from atomistic simulations

Mechanocaloric effects are a promising path towards solid-state cooling. Here the authors perform atomistic simulations on the well-known fast-ion conductor silver iodide and computationally predict a sizeable mechanocaloric effect under biaxial strain.
