DOIAbstract
Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been performed to study the jamming and percolation behavior of linear k-mers (also known as rods or needles) on a two-dimensional triangular lattice of linear dimension L, considering an isotropic RSA process and periodic boundary conditions. Extensive numerical work has been done to extend previous studies to larger system sizes and longer k-mers, which enables the confirmation of a nonmonotonic size dependence of the percolation threshold and the estimation of a maximum value of k from which percolation would no longer occur. Finally, a complete analysis of critical exponents and universality has been done, showing that the percolation phase transition involved in the system i...
