An exact solution of this equation is found and its physical meaning is discussed. A two-phase randomly inhomogeneous model is constructed by a hierarchical method and its effective conductivity at arbitrary phase concentrations is found in the mean-field-like approximation. These expressions satisfy all the necessary symmetries, reproduce the known formulas for sigma_eff in the weakly inhomogeneous case and coincide with two recently found partial solutions of the duality relation. It means that sigma_eff even of two-phase randomly inhomogeneous system may be a nonuniversal function and can depend on some details of the structure of the inhomogeneous regions. The percolation limit is briefly discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-09T20:32:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "flat random two-phase models", "effective conductivity", "arbitrary phase concentrations", "finite maximal scale", "exact solution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..3256B" } } }
