Chapter 8 Nanostructured Resistor Materials Fan Wu(*ü ) and James E. Morris 8.1 Introduction This chapter focuses on nanostructured resistor materials in which there exists a macro- scopic scale of inhomogeneity. In such a material, there are small, yet much larger than atomic, regions where macroscopic homogeneity prevails and where the foregoing macroscopic parameters suffice to characterize the physics, but different regions may have quite different values for those parameters. If we are interested in the physical properties only at scales that are much larger than those regions and at which the mate- rial appears to be homogeneous, then the macroscopic behavior can again be character- ized by bulk effective values, s and e , of the conductivity and dielectric coefficient. There is some literature [1 – 4] on the electrical properties and structural properties of the nanostructured resistor materials. However, there are few data, especially in a systematic way, on the relationship between the microstructure and the DC and AC electrical properties of nanostructured resistor materials. In this chapter, detailed studies of structural, compositional, and electrical properties of nanostructured resistor materials, such as Cr (SiO) , are presented. A detailed understanding of x 1−x the charge transport in nanometallic particle systems such as three-dimensional cermets and two-dimensional discontinuous metal films is important to the achievement of a successful model for the conductivity of nanostructured resistor mater
