Here, we show that the conductivity of conductor-insulator composites in which electrons can tunnel from each conducting particle to all others may display both percolation and tunneling (i.e., hopping) regimes depending on few characteristics of the compo ...
Highly lethal pathogens (e.g., hantaviruses, hendra virus, anthrax, or plague) pose unique public-health problems, because they seem to periodically flare into outbreaks before disappearing into long quiescent phases. A key element to their possible contro ...
In this paper we introduce an effective medium theory that is capable of describing site percolation in both lattice and continuum three-dimensional systems. By exploiting self-consistency with a complete graph or network of identical conductors, the resul ...
This thesis reports on the microstructural analysis of metal ion implanted Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and on the characterization and modeling of its electrical and mechanical properties. Low energy (below 35 keV) metal ion implantation into PDMS forms m ...
The mechanical and electrical properties of nanocomposites created by gold and titanium implantation into Polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) are reported for doses from 1015 at/cm2 to 5x1016 at/cm2, and for ion energies of 2.5 keV, 5 keV and 10 keV. TEM cross-sect ...
Morphological and topological quantification of complex pore networks is of great relevance for environmental engineering, earth science and industry. Recent developments of 3D imaging techniques such as X-ray microtomography or X-ray microscopy provide an ...
The rheological behavior of two hyperbranched polymer/silica suspensions with different dispersion states, surface chemistries, and concentrations of the silica nanoparticles was investigated in terms of viscoelastic properties, activation energy for visco ...
We show that for critical site percolation on the triangular lattice two new observables have conformally invariant scaling limits. In par- ticular the expected number of clusters separating two pairs of points converges to an explicit conformal invariant. ...
We consider the problem of electron transport in segregated conductor-insulator composites in which the conducting particles are connected to all others via tunneling conductances, thus forming a global tunneling-connected resistor network. Segregation is ...
The morphological transition in ultrathin palladium (Pd) films around the percolation threshold and the related transition in hydrogen sensing behavior is investigated.We find that besides the transition from continuous to discontinuous Pd, an intermediate ...
