Stacked triangular lattice: Percolation properties

Statistical Mechanics 2013-03-12 v2 Computational Physics

Abstract

The stacked triangular lattice has the shape of a triangular prism. In spite of being considered frequently in solid state physics and materials science, its percolation properties have received few attention. We investigate several non-universal percolation properties on this lattice using Monte Carlo simulation. We show that the percolation threshold is pcbond=0.186  02±0.000  02p_c^\text{bond}=0.186\;02\pm0.000\;02 for bonds and pcsite=0.262  40±0.000  05p_c^\text{site}=0.262\;40\pm0.000\;05 for sites. The number of clusters at the threshold per site is ncbond=0.284  58±0.000  05n_c^\text{bond}=0.284\;58\pm0.000\;05 and ncsite=0.039  98±0.000  05n_c^\text{site}=0.039\;98\pm0.000\;05. The stacked triangular lattice is a convenient choice to study the RGB model [Sci. Rep. {\bf 2}, 751 (2012)]. We present results on this model and its scaling behavior at the percolation threshold.
