Abstract

We have studied the voltage distribution for a two-component random mixture of conductances σa and σb. A scaling theory is developed for the moments of the distribution, which predicts, for small values ofh=σa/σb, an infinite number of crossover exponents, one for each moment, for Euclidean dimensiond >2, and only one crossover exponent ford=2. Monte Carlo results on the square lattice confirm this prediction.
