    Abstract: Tunable capacitors (10, 20, 30, 40) have a dielectric material (16, 26, 36, 42) between electrodes, which dielectric material comprises an insulating material (17, 27, 37, 42) and electrically conductive material, (18, 28, 38, 48) e.g., conductive nanoparticulates, dispersed therein. In certain cases, enhanced tune-ability is achieved when the dielectric material comprises elongated nanoparticulates (38). Further enhanced tune-ability may be achieved by aligning elongated particulates in an electrode-to-electrode direction. Nanoparticulates may be produced by heating passivated nanoparticulates. Passivated nanoparticulates may be covalently bound within a polymeric matrix. High bias potential device structures can be formed with preferential mobilities.

    Abstract: Epitaxial thin films for use as buffer layers for high temperature superconductors, electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), gas separation membranes or dielectric material in electronic devices, are disclosed. By using CCVD, CACVD or any other suitable deposition process, epitaxial films having pore-free, ideal grain boundaries, and dense structure can be formed. Several different types of materials are disclosed for use as buffer layers in high temperature superconductors. In addition, the use of epitaxial thin films for electrolytes and electrode formation in SOFCs results in densification for pore-free and ideal grain boundary/interface microstructure. Gas separation membranes for the production of oxygen and hydrogen are also disclosed. These semipermeable membranes are formed by high-quality, dense, gas-tight, pinhole free sub-micro scale layers of mixed-conducting oxides on porous ceramic substrates. Epitaxial thin films as dielectric material in capacitors are also taught herein. Capacitors are utilized according to their capacitance values which are dependent on their physical structure and dielectric permittivity. The epitaxial thin films of the current invention form low-loss dielectric layers with extremely high permittivity. This high permittivity allows for the formation of capacitors that can have their capacitance adjusted by applying a DC bias between their electrodes.

    Abstract: Reduced grain boundary (RGB) thin films for use as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), gas separation membranes or dielectric material in electronic, photonic, radio frequency and pyroelectric devices, are disclosed. By using CCVD, CACVD or any other suitable deposition process, RGB films having pore-free, ideal grain boundaries, and dense structure can be formed. In addition, the use of RGB thin films for electrolytes and electrode formation in SOFCs results in densification for pore-free and ideal grain boundary/interface microstructure. Gas separation membranes for the production of oxygen and hydrogen are also disclosed. These semipermeable membranes are formed of high-quality, dense, gas-tight, thin film layers of mixed-conducting oxides on porous ceramic substrates. RGB thin films as dielectric material in capacitors are also taught herein. Capacitors are utilized according to their capacitance values which are dependent on their physical structure and dielectric permittivity. The RGB thin films of the current invention form low-loss dielectric layers with extremely high permittivity. This high permittivity allows for the formation of electronic, photonic, etc. devices that can have their properties adjusted by applying a DC bias between their electrodes.
