Nearest-neighbor connectedness theory: A general approach to continuum percolation

Fabian Coupette, René de Bruijn, Petrus Bult +4

We introduce a method to estimate continuum percolation thresholds and illustrate its usefulness by investigating geometric percolation of non-interacting line segments and disks i…

Geometric percolation of hard nanorods: the interplay of spontaneous and externally induced uniaxial particle alignment

Shari P. Finner, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Paul van der Schoot

We present a numerical study on geometric percolation in liquid dispersions of hard slender colloidal particles subjected to an external orienting field. In the formulation and liq…

Unusual geometric percolation of hard nanorods in the uniaxial nematic liquid crystalline phase

Shari P. Finner, Arshia Atashpendar, Tanja Schilling +1

We investigate by means of continuum percolation theory and Monte Carlo simulations how spontaneous uniaxial symmetry breaking affects geometric percolation in dispersions of hard…

Connectivity, Not Density, Dictates Percolation in Nematic Liquid Crystals of Slender Nanoparticles

Shari P. Finner, Tanja Schilling, Paul van der Schoot

We show by means of continuum theory and simulations that geometric percolation in uniaxial nematics of hard slender particles is fundamentally different from that in isotropic dis…

Continuum Percolation of Polydisperse Rods in Quadrupole Fields: Theory and Simulations

Shari P. Finner, Mihail I. Kotsev, Mark A. Miller +1

We investigate percolation in mixtures of nanorods in the presence of external fields that align or disalign the particles with the field axis. Such conditions are found in the for…
