Dominant role of tunneling resistance in the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–based composites
Abstract
The effect of nanotube/nanotube contact resistance on the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–based nanocomposites is studied. The tunneling resistance due to an insulating film of matrix material between crossing nanotubes is calculated by assuming a rectangular potential barrier in the insulating film. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the tunneling resistance plays a dominant role in the electrical conductivity of composites, and the maximum tunneling distance is found to be about 1.8nm. Electrical conductivities of composites with inplane random distributions of carbon nanotubes follow the scaling law and the critical exponent depends on the level of contact resistance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
