The thermodynamic properties of the dielectric materials are analyzed in detail, based on the Curie law, Curie-Weiss law andother relations betweenthe electrical polarization and the electric fieldstren gth. It is proven that the specific heat at constant electrical polarization is only a function of temperature, while the specific heat at constant electric field strength is dependent on the electric field strength and temperature. Moreover, the regenerative characteristics of the electrocaloric Stirling andEricsso n refrigeration cycles are discussed. Some important conclusions are obtained.

The cycle model of a quantum refrigerator composed of two isothermal and two isomagnetic field processes is established. The working substance in the cycle consists of many noninteracting spin- 1/2 systems. The performance of the cycle is investigated, based on the quantum master equation and semigroup approach. The general expressions of several important performance parameters, such as the coefficient of performance, cooling rate, and power input, are given. Especially, the case at high temperatures is analyzed in detail. The results obtained are further generalized and discussed, so that they may be directly used to describe the performance of the quantum refrigerator using spin-J systems as the working substance. Finally, the optimum characteristics of the quantum Carnot refrigerator are derived simply.
