Abstract

A dielectric material is disclosed comprising a plurality of substantially longitudinally oriented wires which are coupled together, wherein each of the wires includes a conductive core comprising a first material and one or more insulating shell layers comprising a compositionally different second material disposed about the core. In one embodiment, a dielectric layer is disclosed comprising a substrate comprising an insulating material having a plurality of nanoscale pores defined therein having a pore diameter less than about 100 nm, and a conductive material disposed within the nanoscale pores. Methods are also disclosed to create a dielectric material layer comprising, for example, providing a plurality of wires, wherein each of the wires includes a core comprising a first material and one or more insulating layers comprising a compositionally different second material disposed about the core; substantially longitudinally orienting said plurality of wires along their long axes; coupling the wires together; and depositing an insulating coating on at least one of a top and/or a bottom end of the wires.
