Abstract
A Monte Carlo study of spherical particles shows that increased interaction strength may either raise or lower the volume fraction required for percolation. The sense of the change depends on the distance at which two particles are considered connected, the dimensionality, and the proximity to the critical temperature. An on-lattice simulation supports the continuum result.Keywords
