Modelling of electric current flow in 1D Pd-C nanostructure: comparison with experiment

In this paper we propose a model of electric current flow through one-dimensional palladium-carbon nanostructure (nanowire) and compare the results of numerical computations with the experimental data. We focus on two aspects: 1) calculation of the current flow through the nanowire model, 2) determination of the macroscopic parameters in the nanocomposite in our model. Because of a complex micro-geometry of a nanowire, we apply the homogenization method to perform the numerical computations.
