Percolation of finite-sized objects on a lattice
  We study the percolation of FINITE-SIZED objects on two- and three-dimensional lattices. Our motivation stems, on one hand from some recent interesting experimental results on transport properties of impurity-doped oxide perovskites and on the other hand from the theoretical appeal that this problem presents. Our system exhibits a well-defined percolation threshold. We estimate the size of magnetic polarons, believed to be the carriers of the abovementioned transport. We have also obtained two critical exponents for our model, which characterize its universality class.
