The recently developed ion track-based electronic structures of the TEMPOS type have often been filled up with (semi)conducting nanoclusters (NCs) to optimize their operation. Network theory is applied here for the first time to describe the distribution of the ion tracks and the NC, and of the current paths followed by the latter ones. The presence of ion tracks makes the NC distribution deviate from the purely random distribution. The theory is used to calculate the electrical surface currents around a given contact. A radius of influence (ROI) around such a contact can be defined, beyond which the surface currents become negligible. ROI depends on track density, NC density and on the working point of the electronic device.
