Global physical properties of random media change qualitatively at a percolation threshold, where isolated clusters merge to form one infinite connected component. The precise knowledge of percolation thresholds is thus of paramount…
A double percolation transition is identified in a binary network composed of nanoparticles of magnesium diborade superconductor and chromium oxide half-metallic ferromagnet. Anomalously high-resistance or insulating state, as compared to…
Percolation is a concept widely used in many fields of research and refers to the propagation of substances through porous media (e.g., coffee filtering), or the behaviour of complex networks (e.g., spreading of diseases). Percolation…
While classical percolation is well understood, percolation effects in randomly packed or jammed structures are much less explored. Here we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the electrical percolation in a binary composite…
Percolation theory and the associated conductance networks have provided deep insights into the flow and transport properties of a vast number of heterogeneous materials and media. In practically all cases, however, the conductance of the…
In two dimensions, the average electrical conductance from a point in a percolating network to the network boundary should be related by a conformal transformation to the conductance from one point to another in an unbounded network. We…
We study continuum percolation of overlapping circular discs of two sizes. We propose a phenomenological scaling equation for the increase in the effective size of the larger discs due to the presence of the smaller discs. The critical…
We investigate properties of two-dimensional finite-scale percolation systems whose size along the current flow is smaller than the perpendicular size. Successive thresholds of appearing multiple percolation channels in such systems have…

We consider oriented percolation on Z^d times Z_+ whose bond-occupation probability is pD(...), where p is the percolation parameter and D is a probability distribution on Z^d. Suppose that D(x) decays as |x|^{-d-\alpha} for some \alpha>0.…
Every realistic instance of a percolation problem is faced with some degree of polydispersity, e.g., the pore-size distribution of an inhomogeneous medium, the size distribution of filler particles in composite materials, or the vertex…
Spiral (gyrotropic) percolation which is related to the behavior of an electron system in strong magnetic fields is studied. It is shown that the scaling behavior area near the percolation threshold is anomalously narrow. The percolation…

We consider certain two-dimensional systems with self--dual points including uniform and disordered $q$-state Potts models. For systems with continuous energy density (such as the disordered versions) it is established that the self--dual…
