Effect of dispersity of particle length on the electrical conductivity of the two-dimensional systems

Abstract

By means of computer simulation, we examined effect of dispersity of filler length on electrical conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) composites with rod-like fillers. Continuous approach has been used. Highly conductive zero-width rod-like particles were deposited uniformly with given anisotropy onto a poorly conductive substrate. Length of particles varied according to the lognormal distribution. Our simulation evidenced that slightly disordered systems may have both the high figure of merit, i.e., both high electrical conductivity and the optical transmission simultaneously, and the high electrical anisotropy.
