Abstract

We determine thresholds pcp_c for random site percolation on a triangular lattice for neighbourhoods containing nearest (NN), next-nearest (2NN), next-next-nearest (3NN), next-next-next-nearest (4NN) and next-next-next-next-nearest (5NN) neighbours, and their combinations forming regular hexagons (3NN+2NN+NN, 5NN+4NN+NN, 5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN, 5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN+NN). We use a fast Monte Carlo algorithm, by Newman and Ziff [M. E. J. Newman and R. M. Ziff, Physical Review E 64, 016706 (2001)], for obtaining the dependence of the largest cluster size on occupation probability. The method is combined with a method, by Bastas et al. [N. Bastas, K. Kosmidis, P. Giazitzidis, and M. Maragakis, Physical Review E 90, 062101 (2014)], of estimating thresholds from low statistics data. The estimated values of percolation thresholds are pc(4NN)=0.192410(43)p_c(\text{4NN})=0.192410(43), pc(3NN+2NN)=0.232008(38)p_c(\text{3NN+2NN})=0.232008(38), pc(5NN+4NN)=0.140286(5)p_c(\text{5NN+4NN})=0.140286(5), pc(3NN+2NN+NN)=0.215484(19)p_c(\text{3NN+2NN+NN})=0.215484(19), pc(5NN+4NN+NN)=0.131792(58)p_c(\text{5NN+4NN+NN})=0.131792(58), pc(5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN)=0.117579(41)p_c(\text{5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN})=0.117579(41), pc(5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN+NN)=0.115847(21)p_c(\text{5NN+4NN+3NN+2NN+NN})=0.115847(21). The method is tested on the standard case of site percolation on triangular lattice, where pc(NN)=pc(2NN)=pc(3NN)=pc(5NN)=12p_c(\text{NN})=p_c(\text{2NN})=p_c(\text{3NN})=p_c(\text{5NN})=\frac{1}{2} is recovered with five digits accuracy pc(NN)=0.500029(46)p_c(\text{NN})=0.500029(46) by averaging over one thousand lattice realisations only.
