Fluctuation-Induced Tunneling Conduction in Carbon-Polyvinylchloride Composites
Abstract
We present evidence that in carbon-polyvinylchloride composites, consisting of aggregates of carbon spheres (100-400 \AA{}) dispersed in the insulating matrix, the electrical conductivity can be ascribed to a novel mechanism of tunneling with potential-barrier modulation by thermal fluctuations. Theoretical consideration of the tunneling-probability modification by thermal fluctuating electric field across tunnel junctions yields expressions for the temperature and the field dependences of the conductivity in excellent accord with experimental results.

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.
