We consider here the percolation problem in thin films, both in the direction normal to the film and in the direction parallel to the film. We thereby describe here the cross-over between 2D and 3D percolation, which we do on cubic and…
Finite size scaling studies of monopole condensation in noncompact quenched lattice $QED$ indicate an authentic second order phase transition lying in the universality class of four dimensional percolation. Since the upper critical…
Scaling theory predicts complete localization in $d=2$ in quantum systems belonging to orthogonal class (i.e. with time-reversal symmetry and spin-rotation symmetry). The conductance $g$ behaves as $g \sim exp(-L/l)$ with system size $L$…
Recently, a simple non-interacting-electron model, combining local quantum tunneling via quantum point contacts and global classical percolation, has been introduced in order to describe the observed ``metal-insulator transition'' in two…
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…
Experimental evidence for the possible universality classes of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two dimensions (2D) is discussed. Sufficiently strong disorder, in particular, changes the nature of the transition. Comprehensive…
By carefully analyzing the low temperature density dependence of 2D conductivity in undoped high mobility n-GaAs heterostructures, we conclude that the 2D metal-insulator transition in this system is a density inhomogeneity driven…
In the presence of mixing between massive neutrino states, the distortion of the electron spectrum in beta decay is, in general, a function of several masses and mixing angles. For $3\nu$-schemes which describe the solar and atmospheric…
Using Monte Carlo method we study a two-dimensional model with infinitely many absorbing states. Our estimation of the critical exponent beta=0.273(5) suggests that the model belongs to the (1+1) rather than (2+1) directed-percolation…
We present the results of a percolation-like model that has been restricted compared to standard percolation models in the sense that we do not allow finite sized clusters to break up once they have formed. We calculate the critical…
The phase diagram of the metal-insulator transition in a three dimensional quantum percolation problem is investigated numerically based on the multifractal analysis of the eigenstates. The large scale numerical simulation has been…
The frequency dependence of the dielectric loss angle for a metal-insulator composite was shown previously to be an efficient method to experimentally determine the percolation threshold. The statistical properties of this angle are found…
Using Monte Carlo simulations on different system sizes we determine with high precision the critical thresholds of two families of directed percolation models on a square lattice. The thresholds decrease exponentially with the degree of…
We present numerical calculations of the electron effective mass in an interacting, ferromagnetic, two-dimensional electron system. We consider quantum interaction effects associated with the charge-density fluctuation induced many-body…
We study numerically and by scaling arguments the probability P(M)dM that a given dangling end of the incipient percolation cluster has a mass between M and M + dM. We find by scaling arguments that P(M) decays with a power law,…
We reinvestigate the 2D problem of the inhomogeneous incipient infinite cluster where, in an independent percolation model, the density decays to p_c with an inverse power, \lambda, of the distance to the origin. Assuming the existence of…
We present a general formalism for the analysis of mechanical lattices with microstructure using the concept of effective mass. We first revisit a classical case of microstructure being modeled by a spring-interconnected mass-in-mass cell.…
Here we compare critical properties of systems in the directed-percolation (DP) universality class with those of absorbing-state phase transitions occurring in the presence of a non-diffusive conserved field, i.e. transitions in the…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) observed in two-dimensional (2D) systems is apparently contradictory to the well known scaling theory of localization. By investigating the conductance of disordered one-dimensional systems with a finite…
Disagreement percolation connects a Gibbs lattice gas and i.i.d. site percolation on the same lattice such that non-percolation implies uniqueness of the Gibbs measure. This work generalises disagreement percolation to the hard-sphere model…
