We find that at low T the system is forming an open percolatingcluster, without any sign of a phase separation. The nature of the relaxationdynamics depends strongly on the length scale/wave-vector considered and can bedirectly related to the geometrical properties of the spanning cluster. %G English %L hal-00366084 %U https://hal.science/hal-00366084 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LCVN %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
