The random geometry of equilibrium phases

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the random geometry of equilibrium phases. Percolation will come into play here on various levels. Its concepts like clusters, open paths, connectedness etc. be useful for describing certain geometric features phases, allowing characterizations phases in percolation terms. Examples are presented where (thermal) phase transition goes hand with a an associated process. techniques can used to obtain specific information about diagram system. For example, correlation functions sometimes dominated by connectivity problem which is easier investigate. Further, representations terms models yield explicit relations between observables and some corresponding quantities.
