We analyzed conductivity in disordered systems using the Swiss-cheese model. Our findings confirm a conjecture about critical conductivity exponents near the percolation threshold.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Statistical mechanics
  • Disordered systems

Background:

  • The Swiss-cheese model represents disordered continuum systems with randomly placed spherical holes.
  • Understanding conductivity near the percolation threshold is crucial for materials science.
  • Previous work suggested a specific form for critical exponents based on cluster structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the critical conductivity exponent for the Swiss-cheese model.
  • To verify a conjecture regarding the relationship between conductivity and percolation cluster properties.
  • To apply advanced theoretical methods to a complex disordered system.

Main Methods:

  • Mapping the Swiss-cheese model to a bond percolation model with a specific conductance distribution (sigma^-a).

  • Utilizing renormalized field theory and epsilon expansion to arbitrary order.
  • Analyzing critical exponents for correlation length (nu) and resistance (phi).

    • Main Results:

    • Derivation of the critical conductivity exponent for the Swiss-cheese model: t(SC)(a) = (d-2)nu + max[phi,(1-a)(-1)].
    • The exponent depends on spatial dimension (d) and known percolation exponents.
    • The derived exponent aligns with the "nodes, links, and blobs" picture of percolation clusters.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms the conjectured form of the critical conductivity exponent for the Swiss-cheese model.
    • Renormalized field theory provides a powerful tool for analyzing disordered systems.
    • The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of transport properties in random media.
