I recently read an article on titanate dielectrics.  The main point of the 
article was that these dielectrics are non-linear.  These non-linearities 
were functions of temperature and voltage, so they may not work well at TC 
voltages as this would alter the rersonant frequency of the primary circuit 
if the capacitance changes while the TC is running.  On the other hand, maybe 
this could be used to some advantage that I haven't considered.
