Two explicit approximate expressions for effective conductivity are found using a duality relation, a series expansion of sigma_e in the inhomogeneity parameter z and some additional conjectures about functional form of sigma_e. They differ from the effective medium approximation, satisfy all necessary requirements and reproduce the known formulas for sigma_e in weakly inhomogeneous case. This can signify also that sigma_e of the two-phase randomly inhomogeneous systems may be a nonuniversal function, depending on some details of the structure of the random inhomogeneities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-10T12:46:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random two-phase flat systems", "effective conductivity", "functional form", "explicit approximate expressions", "two-phase randomly inhomogeneous systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..3272B" } } }
