Series, Index and Threshold for Random 2D Composite

Abstract

Effective conductivity of a 2D random composite is expressed in the form of long series in the volume fraction of ideally conducting disks. The problem of a {\it direct} reconstruction of the critical index for superconductivity from the series is solved with good accuracy, for the first time. General analytical expressions for conductivity in the whole range of concentrations are derived and compared with the regular composite and existing models.
