Modeling of dielectric to metal conduction transition in nanocomposites by using high voltage discharge

摘要

Paper presents method of the percolation phenomenon visualization through modeling metal-dielectric type nanocomposite. Model was based on high voltage discharge in air between metallic discs modeling the metallic phase. A research station for visualization and simultaneous registration of percolation process was developed and built. Models have been executed in 2 dimension plane of randomly arranged metallic discs. The quantity of metal rings models different value of metal nanoparticles concentration. For different concentration of nanoparticles relationship of discharge voltage to metal concentration was determined.
