Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • The star-triangle transformation is a known method for analyzing correlated bond systems.
  • Scullard recently proposed a star-triangle relation relevant to percolation theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a general "cell-dual-cell" transformation for generating lattices with exact percolation thresholds.
  • To verify Scullard's site percolation thresholds.
  • To derive bond percolation thresholds for the "martini" and "A" lattices.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a general "cell-dual-cell" transformation.
  • Direct verification of Scullard's site percolation thresholds.
  • Derivation of bond percolation thresholds using analytical methods.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Precise Monte Carlo simulations for the "A" lattice site threshold.

    • Main Results:

    • The "cell-dual-cell" transformation allows for the generation of infinite lattice varieties with exact percolation thresholds.
    • Scullard's site percolation thresholds were directly verified.
    • The bond percolation threshold for the "martini" lattice was found to be pc = 1/√2.
    • The bond percolation threshold for the "A" lattice was determined to be pc = 0.625457..., the solution to p⁵ - 4p⁴ + 3p³ + 2p² - 1 = 0.
    • Monte Carlo tests confirmed the site threshold for the "A" lattice.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed "cell-dual-cell" transformation is a powerful tool for discovering new lattices with calculable exact percolation thresholds.
    • The study provides precise percolation threshold values for specific lattice structures, advancing the understanding of phase transitions in disordered systems.
