Abstract

The authors present numerical simulations of AC conductance for a random resistor-capacitor network. The conductance obeys a probability density function p(g) varies as g- alpha (0( alpha (1). They use a highly efficient propagation algorithm to calculate the effective conductance of a long strip of a lattice. At low frequencies, they find that for the concentration p of conducting bonds less than the percolation threshold pc, the imaginary part of conductance is proportional to frequency Im(geff) approximately= omega and the real part of conductance shows an anomalous frequency dependence Re(geff) approximately= omega 2- alpha . The results of simulations in such a continuum system are in agreement with the predictions of the effective medium and the Maxwell-Garnett approximation. They also calculate the non-universal DC conductivity exponents in continuum percolation; the results are consistent with earlier theoretical predictions and numerical calculations.
