Effective electrical conductivity of random resistor networks generated using a Poisson--Voronoi tessellation
Abstract
We studied the effective electrical conductivity of dense random resistor networks (RRNs) produced using a Voronoi tessellation when its seeds are generated by means of a homogeneous Poisson point process in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. Such RRNs are isotropic and in average homogeneous, however, local fluctuations of the number of edges per unit area are inevitably. These RRNs may mimic, e.g., crack-template-based transparent conductive films. The RRNs were treated within a mean-field approach (MFA). We found an analytical dependency of the effective electrical conductivity on the number of conductive edges (resistors) per unit area, $n_\text{E}$. The effective electrical conductivity is proportional to $\sqrt{n_\text{E}}$ when $n_\text{E} \gg 1$.
