Abstract

For percolation on (RL)×L two-dimensional rectangular domains with a width L and aspect ratio R, we propose that the existence probability of the percolating cluster Ep(L,ε,R) as a function of L, R, and deviation from the critical point ε can be expressed as F(εLytRa), where yt1/ν is the thermal scaling power, a is a new exponent, and F is a scaling function. We use Monte Carlo simulation of bond percolation on square lattices to test our proposal and find that it is well satisfied with a=0.14(1) for R>2. We also propose superscaling for other critical quantities.
