Abstract

Current and logarithm-current distributions on a three-dimensional random-bond percolation cubic network were studied at the percolation threshold by computer simulations. Predictions of a hierarchical model that combine fractal structure and randomness agree with our numerical simulations. In the thermodynamic limit the logarithm-current distribution exhibits ann(ln(i))∼i 1/3 dependence below some characteristic currenti c. This distribution may scale with lni/lnL, but the data are insufficient to make this a definite conclusion. Due to the small range of lnL considered, a study of the moments does not reveal this behavior and a study of the distribution itself is required.
