Abstract
Binary mixtures when quenched into the two-phase region exhibit transient percolation phenomena. These transient percolation phenomena and the underlying mechanism of transient reversible growth are investigated. In particular, one of the possible dynamical percolation lines between the dynamical spinodal and the line of macroscopic percolation is traced out. Analyzing the finite size effects with the usual scaling theory one finds exponents which seem to be inconsistent with the universality class of percolation. However, at zero temperature, where the growth is non-reversible and the transition of a sol-gel type, the exponents are consistent with those of random percolation.
