Using Monte Carlo simulation, we have studied the percolation of discorectangles. Also known as stadiums or two-dimensional spherocylinders, a discorectangle is a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. Scaling analysis was performed to obtain the percolation thresholds in the thermodynamic limits. We found that (i) for the two marginal aspect ratios ɛ=1 (disc) and ɛ→∞ (stick) the percolation thresholds coincide with known values within the statistical error and (ii) for…

Invariant percolation properties in random isotropic systems of conductive discorectangles on a plane: From disks to sticks

Recently, some eccentricity-invariant properties of random, isotropic, two-dimensional (2D) systems of conductive ellipses have been reported [Phys. Rev. B 104, 184205 (2021) ]. Moreover, the authors…

Bond percolation on simple cubic lattices with extended neighborhoods.

The results show that the percolation thresholds of these and other three-dimensional lattices decrease monotonically with the coordination number z quite accurately according to a power-law p_{c}∼z^{-a} with exponent a=1.111.

Random nanowire networks: Identification of a current-carrying subset of wires using a modified wall follower algorithm.

To identify any current-carrying part (the backbone) of the percolation cluster, this work has proposed and implemented a modification of the well-known wall follower algorithm-one type of maze solving algorithm, which has been applied to backbone identification in networks with different number densities of conducting sticks.

Higher-Dimensional Stick Percolation

We consider two cases of the so-called stick percolation model with sticks of length L. In the first case, the orientation is chosen independently and uniformly, while in the second all sticks are…

Continuum percolation of congruent overlapping spherocylinders.

It is found ϕ_{c} is a universal monotonic decreasing function of α and is independent of the effective particle size and has implications in percolation theory for nonspherical particles and composite material design.

This work finds precise values of the percolation transition for disks, squares, rotated squares, and rotated sticks in two dimensions and confirms that these transitions behave as conformal field theory predicts.

Percolation of binary disk systems: Modeling and theory.

Monte Carlo simulations and spanning probability are used to extend prior models into regions of higher polydispersity than those previously considered and a correlation to predict the percolation threshold for binary disk systems is proposed.

Precise percolation thresholds of two-dimensional random systems comprising overlapping ellipses

Connectivity percolation of polydisperse anisotropic nanofillers.

It is shown that for a given average length, a length distribution that is strongly skewed to shorter lengths produces the lowest threshold relative to the equivalent monodisperse one, and if the lengths and diameters of the particles are linearly correlated, polydispersity raises the percolation threshold and more so for a more skewed distribution toward smaller lengths.

Percolation thresholds of two-dimensional continuum systems of rectangles.

It is confirmed that percolation thresholds are dominated by the average excluded areas for both homogeneous and heterogeneous rectangle systems (except for some special heterogeneous systems where the rectangle lengths differ too much from one another).

Percolation of sticks: Effect of stick alignment and length dispersity

Using Monte Carlo simulation, we studied the percolation of sticks, i.e. zero-width rods, on a plane paying special attention to the effects of stick alignment and their length dispersity. The stick…

Finite-size scaling in stick percolation.

A high-efficiency algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations is developed to investigate, with extensive realizations, the finite-size scaling behavior of stick percolation in large-size systems and results indicate that the spanning probability of stickPercolation on square systems with free boundary conditions falls on the same universal scaling function as that for lattice percolations.

Connectedness percolation of hard convex polygonal rods and platelets.

This work analytically calculates the percolation threshold of hard convex particles in terms of three single-particle measures and finds that the universal scaling of the perColation threshold is lowered by decreasing the number of sides of the particle cross section.
