2-DIMENSIONAL AND 3-DIMENSIONAL SITE-BOND-CORRELATED PERCOLATION

We study the site-bond-correlated percolation model in two and three dimensions. In this model, two first-neighbor sites are considered to be joined by an active bond if both are present and if their first neighbors, along the line joining them, are also present. Using a Monte Carlo renormalization-group approach, we calculate percolation thresholds and critical exponents for both square and simple cubic lattices. Our results indicate that the correlated model is in the same universality class as usual percolation, in two and three dimensions; the critical probabilities for the square and simple cubic lattices are found to be 0.7402+/-0.0002 and 0.5660+/-0.0004, respectively.
