We evaluate the percolation threshold values for a realistic model of continuum segregated systems, where random spherical inclusions forbid the percolating objects, modellized by hard-core spherical particles surrounded by penetrable…
Conceptualizing a porous media as a network of conductors sets a compromise between the oversimplifying conceptualization of the media as a bundle of capillary tubes and the computationally expensive and unobtainable detailed description of…
We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting…
In [Watanabe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 190601 (2004)], the authors show numerically that spanning and percolation probabilities in two-dimensional systems with different aspect ratios obey a form of "superscaling". In this comment, we…
Two-dimensional superconductivity has become a major frontier in condensed matter physics. It holds the key to the mechanism of high-temperature superconductors and offers an exceptional arena to stabilize emergent quantum states enabled by…
We build a multifractal object and use it as a support to study percolation. We identify some differences between percolation in a multifractal and in a regular lattice. We use many samples of finite size lattices and draw the histogram of…
Describing the diffusion of particles through crowded, confined environments with which they can interact is of considerable biological and technological interest. Under conditions where the confinement dimensions become comparable to the…
We investigate the description of current transfer in polycrystalline superconductors by percolation theory and its limitations. Various computer models that have been proposed are reviewed and related to the experimental and theoretical…
Calculations for open quantum systems are performed usually by taking into account their embedding into one common environment, which is mostly the common continuum of scattering wavefunctions. Realistic quantum systems are coupled however…
We study the conductivity of a class of disordered continuum systems represented by the Swiss-cheese model, where the conducting medium is the space between randomly placed spherical holes, near the percolation threshold. This model can be…
The finite-size scaling theory for continuous phase transition plays an important role in determining critical point and critical exponents from the size-dependent behaviors of quantities in the thermodynamic limit. For percolation phase…
We study the diffusion front for a natural two-dimensional model where many particles starting at the origin diffuse independently. It turns out that this model can be described using properties of near-critical percolation, and provides a…
We introduce appropriate definitions of dimensions in order to characterize the fractal properties of complex networks. We compute these dimensions in a hierarchically structured network of particular interest. In spite of the nontrivial…
The talk presented at ICMP 97 focused on the scaling limits of critical percolation models, and some other systems whose salient features can be described by collections of random lines. In the scaling limit we keep track of features seen…
Iterative construction of a Sierpinski carpet or sponge is shown to be a critical phenomenon analogous to uncorrelated percolation. Critical exponents are derived or calculated (by random walks over the carpet or sponge at infinite…
We report on some extensive analysis of a recently proposed model [A. Lipowski Phys. Rev. E {\bf 60}, 6255 (1999)] with infinitely many absorbing states. By performing extensive Monte Carlo simulations we have determined critical exponents…
The conductance of finite systems plays a central role in the scaling theory of localization (Abrahams et al, 1979). Usually it is defined by the Landauer-type formulas, which remain open the following questions: (a) exclusion of the…
We study finite-frequency transport properties of the double-dot system recently constructed to observe the two-channel Kondo effect [R. M. Potok et al., Nature 446, 167 (2007)]. We derive an analytical expression for the…
Finite-size scaling (FSS) for a critical phase transition ($t=0$) states that within a window of size $|t|\sim L^{-1/\nu}$, the scaling behavior of any observable $Q$ in a system of linear size $L$ asymptotically follows a scaling form as…
Numerical investigation of critical exponents on a hypercubic with L^d random sites with L up to $33 and d up to 7 show that above the critical dimension the phase transitions in Ising model and percolation are not alike.
