At a critical threshold p c, large clusters and long-range connectivity first appear, and this is called the percolation threshold. Depending on the method for obtaining the random network, one distinguishes between the site percolation threshold and the bond percolation threshold.
Percolation is the study of connectivity in random systems, such as electrical conductivity in random conductor/insulator systems, fluid flow in porous media, gelation in polymer systems, etc. [1] At a critical fraction of connectivity or porosity, long-range connectivity can take place, leading to long-range flow.
For site percolation on the square lattice, the value of p c is not known from analytic derivation but only via simulations of large lattices which provide the estimate p c = 0.59274621 ± 0.00000013. [7] A limit case for lattices in high dimensions is given by the Bethe lattice, whose threshold is at p c = 1 / z − 1 for a ...
Percolation clusters become self-similar precisely at the threshold density for sufficiently large length scales, entailing the following asymptotic power laws: . The fractal dimension relates how the mass of the incipient infinite cluster depends on the radius or another length measure, () at = and for large probe sizes, .

There are many different effective medium approximations, [5] each of them being more or less accurate in distinct conditions. Nevertheless, they all assume that the macroscopic system is homogeneous and, typical of all mean field theories, they fail to predict the properties of a multiphase medium close to the percolation threshold due to the absence of long-range correlations or critical ...
Conductivity near the percolation threshold in physics, occurs in a mixture between a dielectric and a metallic component. The conductivity σ {\displaystyle \sigma } and the dielectric constant ϵ {\displaystyle \epsilon } of this mixture show a critical behavior if the fraction of the metallic component reaches the percolation threshold .
