Correlation Length Exponent in the Three-Dimensional Fuse Network
arXiv:cond-mat/0311606 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.70.036123
Abstract
We present numerical measurements of the critical correlation length exponent nu in the three-dimensional fuse model. Using sufficiently broad threshold distributions to ensure that the system is the strong-disorder regime, we determine nu to be nu = 0.86 +/- 0.06 based on analyzing the fluctuations of the survival probability. The value we find for nu is very close to the percolation value 0.88 and we propose that the three-dimensional fuse model is in the universality class of ordinary percolation.
