Abstract
Percolation behaviors of normal-state conductivity and superconductivity have been studied in a Au-Y granular system. The normal-state conductivity shows a percolation threshold at a Au volume fraction of 23%, whereas the superconducting network shows a threshold at . The presence of Au has negligible effect on the superconducting Y phase. In the dilute limit, the ratio of the Meissner signal to the diamagnetic-shielding signal approaches unity.
