Thermoresponsive microgels are one of the most investigated class of soft colloids, thanks to their ability to undergo a Volume Phase Transition (VPT) close to ambient temperature. However, this fundamental phenomenon still lacks a detailed…
Nanogranular metal composites, consisting of immiscible metallic and insulating phases deposited on a substrate, are characterized by two distinct electronic transport regimes depending on the relative amount of the metallic phase. At…
Using computer simulations, we have studied the percolation and the electrical conductance of two-dimensional, random percolating networks of curved, zero-width metallic nanowires. We mimicked the curved nanowires using circular arcs. The…
Connectedness percolation phenomena in two-dimensional packings of elongated particles (discorectangles) were studied numerically. The packings were produced using random sequential adsorption (RSA) off-lattice model with preferential…
A double percolation transition is identified in a binary network composed of nanoparticles of magnesium diborade superconductor and chromium oxide half-metallic ferromagnet. Anomalously high-resistance or insulating state, as compared to…
In percolating networks of mixed metallic and semiconducting CNTs, there is a tradeoff between high on-current (dense networks) and high on/off ratio (sparse networks in which the metallic CNT fraction is not percolating). Experiments on…
We present a microscopic model for calculating the AC conductivity of a finite length line junction made up of two counter or co-propagating single mode quantum Hall edges with possibly different filling fractions. The effect of…
A novel variational method is proposed for calculating the percolation threshold, the real-space structure, and the thermodynamical compressibility of a disordered two-dimensional electron liquid. Its high accuracy is verified against prior…
We present a study on connectivity percolation in suspensions of hard platelets by means of Monte Carlo simulation. We interpret our results using a contact-volume argument based on an effective single--particle cell model. It is commonly…
We investigate transport and magnetotransport properties of binary networks composed of superconducting (MgB2) and ferromagnetic (CrO2 or LSMO) nanoparticles. While for the LSMO/MgB2 system a single percolation threshold is observed, for…
In conductor-insulator nanocomposites in which conducting fillers are dispersed in an insulating matrix the electrical connectedness is established by interparticle tunneling or hopping processes. These systems are intrinsically…
We noted that the tunneling-percolation framework is quite well understood at the extreme cases of percolation-like and hopping-like behaviors but that the intermediate regime has not been previously discussed, in spite of its relevance to…
When conducting bonds are occupied randomly in a two-dimensional square lattice, the conductivity of the system increases continuously as the density of those conducting bonds exceeds the percolation threshold. Such a behavior is well known…
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…
Calculations of the conductance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-molecule-CNT structure are in agreement with experimental measurements [1]. The features in the transmission correspond directly to the features of the isolated molecular orbitals.…
We present a site-percolation model based on a modified FCC lattice, as well as an efficient algorithm of inspecting percolation which takes advantage of the Markov stochastic theory, in order to study the percolation threshold of carbon…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measures how a single electron with definite energy propagates between a sample surface and the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. In the simplest description, the differential conductance measured is…
In this work, we investigate the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with a particular focus on the effects of doping. Using a first-principles approach, we study the electronic structure, phonon dispersion, and…
Recent experiments by Ralph and Buhrman on zero-bias anomalies in quenched Cu nanoconstrictions (reviewed in the preceding paper, I), are in accord with the assumption that the interaction between electrons and nearly degenerate two-level…
The sedimentation of a two dimensional suspension containing rods was studied by means of kinetic Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. An off-lattice model with continuous positional and orientational degrees of freedom was considered. The initial…
