Classical Percolation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Quantum and Semi-classical Percolation and Breakdown in Disordered Solids

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 762))

Abstract

Percolation theory mostly deals with large lattices where every site is randomly either occupied or empty. In particular, it studies the resulting clusters that are sets of neighbouring occupied sites. It was three decades ago that Stauffer published his last research on quantum effects; he is, thus, eminently qualified to write this introductory chapter, where ћ = 0. Mostly, this review combines in a shortened form two articles written for the Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, for the same publisher.
