A Monte-Carlo Analysis of Percolation of Line-Segments on a Square Lattice

Abstract

We study the percolative properties of bi-dimensional systems generated by a random sequential adsorption of line-segments on a square lattice. As the segment length grows, the percolation threshold decreases, goes through a minimum and then increases slowly for large segments. We explain this non-monotonic behaviour by a structural change of the percolation clusters. Moreover, it is strongly suggested that these systems do not belong to the universality class of random site percolation.
