Percolation thresholds for discorectangles: Numerical estimation for a range of aspect ratios

Abstract: 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: (i) for the two marginal aspect ratios ε = 1 (disc) and ε → ∞ (stick) the percolation thresholds coincide with known values within the statistical error; (ii) for intermediate values of ε t… Show more

“…7for the square and cubic lattices with z = (2k) d , in the limit that η c /k d is small or in other words the continuum limit where k is large and η c (k) for a discrete system is replaced by η c of the continuum. For circular neighborhoods, where η c of a disk equals 1.128087 [31,[45][46][47][48], one should thus expect from Eq. 9p c = 4.512348 z ,…”

“…We will choose neighborhoods with sites that fall within a radius r. As z → ∞, the shape of the neighborhood becomes more circular (or spherical), so one can naturally suppose that the asymptotic behavior of zp c should be universal, with η c for a disk or spheres depending upon the dimension of the system. For circular neighborhoods in two dimensions, where η c for disks equals 1.128087 [9][10][11][12]54], one should thus expect…”

“…The most common one is to occupy sites or bonds on a regular lattice with statistically independent probability p. Site and bond percolation can be distinguished depending on the method of obtaining the cluster. One can also consider continuum percolation systems [9][10][11][12], such as overlapping disks and spheres placed randomly.…”

“…Since the introduction of this model, a host of papers on the subject has appeared in the physics literature (see for example [8] and [10] and the references therein). Many of these deal with a three-dimensional variant where the two-dimensional stick is replaced by other percolation objects, such as nanotubes or nanowires, which are suspended in some other material.…”
