Abstract
The complex conductance of site-diluted Josephson junction arrays close to the percolation threshold was measured over a wide range of frequencies ω. Well below both the superfluid and dissipative components are independent of ω below a critical frequency , whereas with for . This is shown to reflect the crossover from a Euclidean regime dominated by phononlike modes of the phase system to a fractal regime , where the relevant excitations are localized fractons. Percolative critical exponents extracted from the data are consistent with theoretical predictions.
