Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around identifying insulators with high dielectric strength at room temperature, particularly those suitable for thin layer applications using techniques like e-beam evaporation or atomic layer deposition.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about insulators with high dielectric strength at room temperature.
- Another participant suggests Polysulfide sealants as a potential option.
- A different participant proposes conducting experiments under oil, provided it is heated to remove water, as a method to enhance dielectric properties.
- A follow-up response expresses the need for materials that can be deposited in very thin layers (~30 nm) using e-beam evaporation or atomic layer deposition.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants present various suggestions and approaches, but there is no consensus on a specific material or method that meets all criteria.
Contextual Notes
The discussion does not clarify the specific dielectric strength values or the suitability of the suggested materials for the intended application.
