Percolation theor y was employed to discuss the relation between the conductivity and graphite con tent of graphite-modified asphalt concrete. It was found that the results of pe rcolation model are consistent with experimental values. The percolation thresho ld of graphite-modified asphalt concrete is 10.94% graphite content account for the total volume of the binder phase consisting of asphalt and graphite. The cr itical exponent is 3.16, beyond the range of 1.6-2.1 for the standard lattice c ontinuous percolation problem. Its reason is that the tunnel conduction mec hanism originates near the critical percent content, which causes this system to be not universal. Tunnel mechanism is demonstrated by the nonlinear voltage-cu rrent characteristic near percolation threshold.The percolation model is able to well predict the formation and development of conductive network in graphite- modified asphalt concrete.展开更多

We take the seismogenic process of alarge earthquake as a phase transition process of percolation and apply the renormalization method to phase transition of percolation. The critical property of the system, which is like percolation probability exponential andcorrelative length exponential, etc, can be calculated under the fixed point as which in the renormalization transformation infinite correlative length in percolation phase transition is taken. The percolation phase transition process of two large earthquakes, which are Haicheng and Tangshan event occurred in 1975 and 1976 respectively, hasbeen discussed by means of seismicity data before and after two shocks.展开更多

In this Paper, we study the calculation method of small clusters. We calcu-lated the small cluster density of 1, 2 and 3 in the percolation model with the exact method and the numerical method. The results of the two methods are very close, which can be verified by each other. We find that the cluster density of all three kinds of small clusters reaches the highest value when the occupation probability is between 0.1 and 0.2. It is very difficult to get the analytical formula for the exact method when the cluster area is relatively large (such as the area is more than 50), so we can get the density value of the cluster by numerical method. We find that the time required calculating the cluster density is proportional to the percolation area, which is indepen-dent of the cluster size and the occupation probability.展开更多

As on the simple-cubic lattice [Phys. Rev. E, 2013, 87（5）： 052107], it is observed that in comparison with dimensionless ratios based on cluster-size distribution, certain wrapping probabilities exhibit weaker finite-size corrections and are more sensitive to the deviation from percolation threshold Pc, and thus provide a powerful means for determining Pc. We analyze the numerical data of the wrapping probabilities simultaneously such that universal parameters are shared by the aforementioned models, and thus significantly improved estimates of Pc are obtained.展开更多

The conductance g behaves as g^exp(-L/l) with system size L and localization length l in the strong disorder limit. However, classical systems can always have metallic states in which Ohm’s law shows a constant g in d=2. We study a two-dimensional quantum percolation model by controlling dephasing effects. The numerical investigation of g aims at simulating a quantum-to-classical percolation evolution. An unexpected metallic phase, where g increases with L, generates immense interest before the system becomes completely classical. Furthermore, the analysis of the scaling plot of g indicates a metal-insulator crossover.展开更多

It is found that the model can exhibit four types of percolation transitions, two continuous percolation transitions and two discontinuous ones. Continuous and discontinuous percolation transitions can be distinguished from each other by the largest single jump. Two types of continuous percolation transitions show different behaviors in the time gap. Two types of discontinuous percolation transitions are different in the time evolution of the cluster size distribution. Moreover, we also find that the time gap may also be a measure to distinguish different discontinuous percolations in this model.展开更多

The magnetization of samples （x=0, 0.5, 1） were also measured as a function of temperature from 4 K to 300 K. The X-ray diffraction data show La5/8Ca3/8MnO3 and ErMnO3 are almost complete immiscible, originating from the significant difference in their crystal structures. All the composites show a metal-insulator transition when the molar fraction of xLa5/8Ca3/8MnO3 component x≥0.4 and the electronic transport behaviors follow the classical percolation theory model very well. Magnetization of the mixture with x=0.5 is unique and enhanced greatly compared with that of pure ErMnO3. Comprehensive analysis of the electronic transport and magnetic results suggests that this material system is a new kind of multiferroic with stronger magnetism in a wider temperature range compared with the single phase multiferroic ErMnO3.展开更多
