摘要

This study investigates the design, fabrication, and characterization of two-terminal fractional capacitors (FCs) with orders exceeding 0.35 and exceptional thermal stability. To achieve this, a nanocomposite of carbon nanotubes and AD-SiO₂ nanoparticles dispersed in epoxy is used as a dielectric. The devices exhibit fractional orders (0.3 < α < 0.85) and maintain stable fractance from − 15 °C to 136 °C, far exceeding the thermal limits of CNT-only FCs (− 15 °C to 40 °C) and those of capacitors reported in the GM-tube literature. This FC (α = 0.85, \({C}_{\alpha }=84\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mu {\text{Fs}}^{1-\alpha }\) C α = 84 μ Fs 1 - α ) showed full-range impedance stability, marking it as the first high-temperature FC for radiation instrumentation. Modeling and experiments confirm strong correlations between material composition and electrical behavior. In addition, this FC, integrated into a GM preamplifier yields a stable cutoff frequency \({\omega }_{c}=(1/R{C}_{\alpha }{)}^{1/\alpha }\) ω c = ( 1 / R C α ) 1 / α from 25 to 125 °C, achieving noise suppression unattainable with conventional RC filters. Further, it introduces the first fractional-order GM-tube model linked to ion-drift memory through Mittag–Leffler dynamics. By unifying high-temperature FO devices, a physically grounded GM model, and thermally robust FO filtering, this study establishes FCs as reliable components for nuclear and high-temperature applications.
