Abstract
Electrical properties of indium percolating samples were investigated by the charging effect in the scanning electron microscope. The finite clusters and the infinite cluster were identified due to the difference in their charging images. The finite clusters exhibited a capacitor-like behavior. An electric breakdown in a tree-like structure was obtained in the indium insulating films.Keywords
