Comment on arXiv:1807.08572, "Coexistence of Diamagnetism and Vanishingly Small Electrical Resistance at Ambient Temperature and Pressure in Nanostructures"

Abstract

A recent preprint arXiv:1807.08572 reported the observation of a transition in Ag/Au nanoparticle composites near room temperature and at ambient pressure, to a vanishingly small four-probe resistance, which was tentatively identified as a percolating superconducting transition. In this brief comment, I point out that a vanishing four-probe resistance may also emerge in non-superconducting systems near conductance percolation threshold.
