Abstract
A double percolation transition is identified in a binary network composed of nanoparticles of MgB2 superconductor and CrO2 half-metallic ferromagnet. Anomalously high-resistance or insulating state, as compared to the conducting or superconducting states in single-component systems of either constituent, is observed between two distinct percolation thresholds. This double percolation effect, which is especially pronounced at liquid helium temperatures, is controlled by composite volume fraction and originates from the suppressed interface conduction and tunneling as well as a large geometric disparity between nanoparticles of different species. We investigate the scaling behavior near both percolation thresholds and determine the distinct critical exponents associated with two different types of transitions.
