Abstract

The phenomenon of percolation is one of the core topics in statistical mechanics. It allows one to study the phase transition known in real physical systems only in a purely geometrical way. In this paper, we determine thresholds pcp_c for random site percolation in triangular and honeycomb lattices for all available neighborhoods containing sites from the sixth coordination zone. The results obtained (together with the percolation thresholds gathered from the literature also for other complex neighborhoods and also for a square lattice) show the power-law dependence pc(ζ/K)γp_c\propto(\zeta/K)^{-\gamma} with γ=0.526(11)\gamma=0.526(11), 0.5439(63)0.5439(63) and 0.5932(47)0.5932(47), for honeycomb, square, and triangular lattice, respectively, and pcζγp_c\propto\zeta^{-\gamma} with γ=0.5546(67)\gamma=0.5546(67) independently on the underlying lattice. The index ζ=iziri\zeta=\sum_i z_i r_i stands for an average coordination number weighted by distance, that is, depending on the coordination zone number ii, the neighborhood coordination number ziz_i and the distance rir_i to sites in ii-th coordination zone from the central site. The number KK indicates lattice connectivity, that is, K=3K=3, 4 and 6 for the honeycomb, square and triangular lattice, respectively.
