Finite-size effects and percolation properties of Poisson geometries
Abstract
Random tessellations of the space represent a class of prototype models of heterogeneous media, which are central in several applications in physics, engineering and life sciences. In this work, we investigate the statistical properties of -dimensional isotropic Poisson geometries by resorting to Monte Carlo simulation, with special emphasis on the case . We first analyse the behaviour of the key features of these stochastic geometries as a function of the dimension and the linear size of the domain. Then, we consider the case of Poisson binary mixtures, where the polyhedra are assigned two `labels' with complementary probabilities. For this latter class of random geometries, we numerically characterize the percolation threshold, the strength of the percolating cluster and the average cluster size.
