Recent advances in the electromagnetics of composite materials are reviewed. In particular, linear and non-linear optical properties of small-particle aggregates are considered. The …
Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since …
The onset of superconductivity in homogeneous ultrathin films is found to occur when their normal-state sheet resistance falls below a value close to h/4 e 2, the quantum resistance for …

We review theoretical and experimental studies of the AC dielectric response of inhomogeneous materials, modelled as bond percolation networks, with a binary (conductor …
Applying fractal geometry to science is bringing about a breakthrough in our understanding of complex systems in nature that show self-similar or self-affine features. Self-similar and …

Complex permittivity and related AC conductivity measurements in the frequency range between 10− 4 and 107Hz are presented for composites of polycarbonate (PC) filled with …
Nonlinear Optics of Random Media reviews recent advances in in one of the most prominent fields of physics. It provides an outline of the basic models of irregular structures of random …
Random structures often exhibit fractal geometry, defined in terms of the mass scaling exponent, D, the fractal dimension. The vibrational dynamics of fractal networks are …
