Percolation thresholds on a triangular lattice for neighborhoods containing sites up to the fifth coordination zone
1AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, al. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland.
Abstract:
We determine thresholds p_{c} for random-site percolation on a triangular lattice for all available neighborhoods containing sites from the first to the fifth coordination zones, including their complex combinations. There are 31 distinct neighborhoods. The dependence of the value of the percolation thresholds p_{c} on the coordination number z are tested against various theoretical predictions. The proposed single scalar index ξ=∑_{i}z_{i}r_{i}^{2}/i (depending on the coordination zone number i, the neighborhood coordination number z, and the square distance r^{2} to sites in ith coordination zone from the central site) allows one to differentiate among various neighborhoods and relate p_{c} to ξ. The thresholds roughly follow a power law p_{c}∝ξ^{-γ} with γ≈0.710(19).

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
