Experimental study of critical exponents of electrical conductivity in a two-dimensional continuum percolation system.

In this paper an experimental study is presented for critical exponents of electrical conductivity in an inverse Swiss-cheese model. Filled circles are drawn on random positions of square paper in drawing ink with an X-Y plotter, and electrical resistance between both opposite sides is measured automatically by the use of general purpose interface bus system. Electrical conductivity is obtained from the inverse of the electrical resistance. Electrical conductivity in a bond process is also measured with the same system. It is confirmed that the critical exponent of electrical conductivity of a continuum two-dimensional inverse Swiss-cheese model is different from that of a discrete one.
