Their dielectric function epsilon = epsilon1 + i-epsilon2 was determined in the range 5 Hz equal/smaller than omega/2-Pi equal/smaller than 10 to the tenth Hz. For the first time a metall like loss-dipersion was measured over frequency intervalls of up to 8 orders of magnitude. The corresponding conductivities are many orders of magnitude lower than the bulk-metall values, however, they are still much higher than for known lossy dielectrics. Systems with a partial partical aggomeration but no percolation, already show enhanced epsilon2(omega)-values but no power law for the frequency dependence. This is in contrast with isolated particles where epsilon2(omega) = const holdes.en620660671530journal article
