Abstract
Geometric models of the percolating cluster as introduced by de Gennes (1976) are used to discuss dispersion and excitation spectra in dilute Heisenberg ferro- and antiferromagnets. New scaling relations for the spin-wave stiffness and conductivity exponents are derived and differences from those given by de Gennes interpreted geometrically. Consideration of dispersion in the antiferromagnet leads to an alternative derivation of a scaling relation for the perpendicular susceptibility exponent.
