Tunneling and nonuniversal conductivity in composite materials
Abstract
A simple model based on interparticle tunneling conduction and a percolative network is shown to imply a diverging distribution of high resistors in the system. This distribution is expected to yield a nonuniversal behavior of the electrical conductivity. An experimental study of carbon black--polymer composites seems to confirm this expectation, as well as explaining why a nonuniversal behavior has not been observed in previous experimental studies on such composites.

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.
