Abstract
Neutron-scattering experiments at the magnetic vacancy percolation threshold concentration xv using the random-field Ising crystal Fe0.76Zn0.24F2, show stability of the transition to long-range order up to fields H = 6.5 T. The observation of the stable long-range order corroborates the sharp boundary observed in computer simulations at xv separating equilibrium critical scattering behavior at high magnetic concentration from low concentration hysteretic behavior. Low-temperature H > 0 scattering line shapes exhibit the dependence on the scattering wave vector expected for percolation threshold fractal structures.
