Capacitive pressure and temperature sensing devices for use at cryogenic temperatures are provided utilizing a quantum ferroelectric pyrochlore ceramic material as the dielectric. The ceramic material has the formula: ##EQU##(Cd 1-x M x ) 2 (Nb 1-y M' y ) 2 O 7 where M is Pb, Ca, Sr, Ba, or mixture
Capacitive pressure and temperature sensing devices for use at cryogenic temperatures are provided utilizing a quantum ferroelectric pyrochlore ceramic material as the dielectric. The ceramic material has the formula: ##EQU##(Cd 1-x M x ) 2 (Nb 1-y M' y ) 2 O 7 where M is Pb, Ca, Sr, Ba, or mixtures thereof; where M' is Ta, Sb, or mixtures thereof; and where x and y are numbers in the range of from 0 to 1. M and M' are chosen such that the pressure sensing device uses a ceramic with a nearly temperature independent dielectric constant while the temperature sensing device uses a ceramic with a strongly temperature dependent dielectric constant. The sensors may comprise multi-layered capacitive devices, and may be combined into a single temperature and pressure sensing device.
