摘要： An electronic device in the form a two-dimensional array of nanopillars extending generally normal to a substrate is provided. The nanopillars are made from a paraelectric or superparaelectric material. In addition, a linear dielectric medium is located between individual nanopillars. A two-dimensional array of paraelectric or superparaelectric nanopillars and a linear dielectric medium form the effective dielectric medium of a paraelectric or superparaelectric varactor. In some instances, the nanopillars are cylindrical nanopillars that have an average diameter and/or average height/length between 1-300 nanometers. In other instances, the nanopillars are quasi-nanoparticles that form self-aligned nano-junctions. In addition, each of the nanopillars has a single paraelectric or superparaelectric dipole domain therewithin. As such, each of the nanopillars can be void of crystallographic defects, polycrystallinity, interactions between ferroic domains, and defects due to ferroic domain walls.

摘要： An apparatus that includes a varactor element and an integrated micro-discharge source is disclosed herein. In a general embodiment, the apparatus includes at least one np junction and at least one voltage source that is configured to apply voltage across the np junction. The apparatus further includes an aperture that extends through the np junction. When the voltage is applied across the np junction, gas in the aperture is ionized, forming a plasma, in turn causing a micro-discharge (of light, charge particles, and space charge) to occur. The light (charge particles, and space charge) impinges upon the surface of the np junction exposed in the aperture, thereby altering capacitance of the np junction. When used within an oscillator circuit, the effect of the plasma on the np-junction extends the capacitance changes of the np-junction and extends the oscillator frequency range in ways not possible by a conventional voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
