Non-equilibrium polaronic quantum phase-condensate based electrical devices

An electrical device comprising:

• (A) an insulating substrate having a surface;
• (B) a first single UO2+x crystal or a first oriented crystal UO2+x film on a first portion of the surface, wherein the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film originates and hosts a non-equilibrium polaronic quantum phase-condensate;
• (C) a first lead comprising a first electrically conductive material on a second portion of the surface in electrical contact with the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film;
• (D) a second lead comprising a second electrically conductive material on a third portion of the surface, wherein the second lead is in electrical contact with the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film and wherein the first and second leads are not in contact with each other;
• and
• (E) a UO2+x excitation source in operable communication with the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film, wherein the excitation source is configured to polarize a region of the first single crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film to activate the non-equilibrium polaronic quantum phase-condensate and determine an electrical conductivity of the first single crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film, wherein
• a first state of the excitation source causes the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film to be electrically conducting, and
• a second state of the excitation source causes the first single UO2+x crystal or the first oriented crystal UO2+x film to be electrically non-conductive.
