Abstract
We study the equilibrium structure of isolated (diluted) three dimensional percolation clusters and site-diluted tethered membranes using a molecular dynamics simulation. We find that the percolation clusters swell upon dilution and the fractal dimension changes from 2.5 to about 2, in agreement with recent Flory-type theories and neutron scattering experiments on gelation clusters. The equilibrium configuration of the site-diluted membranes is found to be rough on small length scales but flat asymptotically.
