We have recently observed a giant electrocaloric effect (12 K in 25 V) in 350nm sol-gel Pb Zr_0.95 Ti_0.05 O_3 films near the ferroelectric Curietemperature of 242oC. Here we demonstrate a giant electrocaloric effect (5 K in25 V) in 260 nm sol-gel films of the relaxor ferroelectric 0.9PbMg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3)O_3 - 0.1 PbTiO_3 near the Curie temperature of 60oC. Thisreduction in operating temperature widens the potential for applications innovel cooling systems.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
