A test of scaling near the bond percolation threshold
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bond percolation problem is studied by the Monte Carlo method on a two-dimensional square lattice of 2 X lo6 bonds. Through the inclusion of a ghost field h, we obtain the generating function (the percolation analogue of the Gibbs free energy), percolation probability (the analogue of the spontaneous magnetisation), and mean cluster size (‘isothermal susceptibility’) as functions of two ‘thermodynamic’ variables, c = ( p , p ) / p c and h. We discuss the non-trivial problems associated with the identification of the singular parts of these functions. We demonstrate that scaling holds for all three ‘thermodynamic’ functions within a rather large ‘scaling region’.

THE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL
The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
متن کاملAspects of Dielectric Breakdown in a Model for Disordered Nonlinear Composites
We study dielectric breakdown in a semi-classical bond percolation model for nonlinear composite materials introduced by us and the related breakdown exponent near the percolation threshold in two dimensions. The breakdown exponent after doing finite size scaling analysis is found to be tB ≃ 1.42. We discuss in detail the differences in our model from the traditional models for dielectric break...
متن کاملFinite-Size Scaling in Two-dimensional Continuum Percolation Models
We test the universal finite-size scaling of the cluster mass order parameter in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic and directed continuum percolation models below the percolation threshold by computer simulations. We found that the simulation data in the 2D continuum models obey the same scaling expression of massM to sample size L as generally accepted for isotropic lattice problems, but with a p...
متن کاملIntermittency studies in directed bond percolation
The self-similar cluster fluctuations of directed bond percolation at the percolation threshold are studied using techniques borrowed from intermittency-related analysis in multi-particle production. Numerical simulations based on the factorial moments for large 1 + 1-dimensional lattices allow to handle statistical and boundary effects and show the existence of weak but definite intermittency ...
