Analysis and 3D modelling of percolated conductive networks in nanoparticle-based thin films by Stanislav Haviar, Benedikt Prifling, Tomáš Kozák, Kalyani Shaji, Tereza Košutová, Šimon Kos, Volker Schmidt, Jiří Čapek

“…Then, the electrical conductivity of the percolated networks in these virtual structures was computed using the finite element method for various partial oxygen pressures. Simulated resistivity values were compared with experimental measurements obtained from four-point probe resistivity measurements conducted under varying oxygen partial pressures at 150°C A discussion of the validity of the model and its ability to cover qualitatively and quantitatively the observed behaviour is included.…”
