US Classification:
505 1
Abstract:
A two-step process for the preparation of a thallium-containing superconductive film is described. In the first step of this process, an aerosol mist containing reactants necessary to produce a calcium/barium/strontium/copper precursor material is provided. This mist is subjected to radio-frequency radiation while in the plasma region, and it thereafter is deposited onto an electrically grounded substrate. In the second step of the process, the coated substrate is contacted with thallium-containing vapor.

Superconducting Core Technologies, Inc. - Denver CO University Research Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
H01B 1202 H01G 706
US Classification:
505210
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tuneable fringe effect capacitor for conducting radio frequency energy. The capacitor includes a thin film of ferroelectric material, a pair of films of a conductive material deposited on the ferroelectric film with a gap between the films, and a substrate for the ferroelectric material and the conductive films. The capacitance value across the gap is varied by applying a voltage to the ferroelectric material and thereby altering the dielectric constant of the ferroelectric material.

International Classification:
H01P 118 H01P 900 H03H 1116 H01B 1202
US Classification:
505210
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to ferroelectric and superconducting thin films used in combination to produce low-loss passive microwave and millimeter wave devices which are frequency tuneable. Various metal oxide superconducting and ferroelectric thin films can be deposited in numerous multilayer geometries via a variety of deposition techniques to produce devices which can manipulate microwave and millimeter wave signals through the application of voltage bias signals across the ferroelectric films. Numerous superconducting microwave and millimeter wave devices, including delay lines, phase shifters, resonators, oscillators, filters, electrically-small antennas, half-loop antennas, directional couplers, patch antennas, and various radiative gratings, are made frequency-tuneable by utilizing voltage-tuneable capacitor structures fabricated from voltage-biased ferroelectric thin films. Tuneable antenna arrays are also disclosed incorporating the combined superconducting and ferroelectric thin film structures and geometries which allow for electrical steering of beam patterns by the application of one or more voltage bias signals to ferroelectric thin film gratings.
