Abstract

In order to take into account the actual morphology of the inhomogeneous media, we have developed, effective medium models based on a 2D and 3D position space renormalization /1,2/. These models predict the dipolar resonance and the percolation transition with critical exponents in good agreement with theoretical values and fairly reproduce most of the experimental results, whatever the concentration is. Further more, this allows a valuable comparison of the predictions of our models when applied on different lattices like real digitized TEM of cermet films or randomly occupied lattices.
