Figure 15.
Calculated gauge factor κ as a function of intergrain coupling strength (bottom axis) and metal volume fraction (upper axis) at selected temperatures for the Arrhenius regime at intermediate coupling. Fcc-like packing of Au nanoparticles of 5.5 nm diameter in a dielectric matrix was assumed. The model parameters
= 3.29, εi = 1.02, εm = −16400 and
= EC were used. For details see [59].
