Visualization of the percolation phenomenon in two-dimensional arrangement of metallic spherical particles

The paper presented the method of visualisation the phenomenon of percolation in the model of nanocomposite type metal- dielectric, based on the occurrence of high voltage jumps in the air between metallic discs modeling the metallic nanoparticles. A research station for visualisation and registration of the percolation proces was developed and built. The models were made from metallic discs, randomly arranged on a plane for different values of „nanoparticles” concetration. The dependence of the jump voltage from the concentration was established. Visual images of percolation for different „nanoparticles” concentration were registered.
