We study a supposed model for branched polymers which was shown in two dimensions to be in the universality class of ordinary percolation. We confirm this by high statistics simulations and show that it is in the percolation universality…

We find that at intermediate temperatures, the metallic temperature dependence of the conductivity \sigma(T) of 2D electrons in silicon is described well by a recent interaction-based theory of Zala et al. (Phys. Rev. B 64, 214204 (2001)).…

A power law is postulated for both site and bond percolation thresholds. The formula writes $p_c=p_0[(d-1)(q-1)]^{-a}d^{\ b}$, where $d$ is the space dimension and $q$ the coordination number. All thresholds up to $d\rightarrow \infty$ are…
