Percolation due to the simultaneous occupation of two neighboring bond sites, namely a bond dimer, is considered here by means of the renormalization cell technique providing an analytic way to obtain results such as percolation threshold, jamming coverage and critical exponents. This is...

A theoretical approach, based on exact calculations of configurations on finite rectangular cells, is applied to study the percolation of homonuclear dimers on square lattices. An efficient algorithm allows us to calculate the detailed structure of the configuration space for M=Lx×Ly cells,...

A generalization of the pure site and pure bond percolation problems called site–bond percolation on a triangular lattice is studied. Motivated by considerations of cluster connectivity, two distinct schemes (denoted as S∩B and S∪B) for site–bond percolation are used. In S∩B (S∪B),...

We study the efficiency of parallel tempering Monte Carlo technique for calculating true ground states of the Edwards–Anderson spin glass model. Bimodal and Gaussian bond distributions were considered in two- and three-dimensional lattices. By a systematic analysis we find a simple formula to...

A novel order parameter Φ for spin glasses is defined based on topological criteria and with a clear physical interpretation. Φ is first investigated for well known magnetic systems and then applied to the Edwards–Anderson ±J model on a square lattice, comparing its properties with the...

The Edwards–Anderson site order parameter, q, or its generalizations have been considered to study the partial spin-glass behavior of ±J Ising lattices. These parameters vanish if all 2W ground states are taken into account, so an ergodic separation must be done in order to emulate nature....

Square lattices with Ising spins at the sites and ±J exchange interactions between nearest neighbors are one of the realizations of the Edwards–Anderson model originally proposed to mimic spin glasses. Such systems produce a complex configuration space due to frustration originated in local...
