Abstract
Percolation in a fluid mixture system (FMS) containing adhesive charged hard spheres (ACHSs) and point charges can be analytically estimated by regarding the contact of an ACHS with another ACHS as the formation of directly connected bonds between the ACHSs. A feature of the percolation in the FMS can be determined via the phase diagrams displayed for the volume fraction \ensuremath{\varphi} of the ACHSs and the reciprocal ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\zeta}}}_{00}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ of the strength of the adhesive interaction. In the \ensuremath{\varphi}-${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\zeta}}}_{00}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ plane, the phase diagrams indicate that the region in which percolation is induced is less dominant than that in which phase separation is induced if the ACHSs are highly charged spheres.
