Delocalization and conductance quantization in one-dimensional systems
We investigate the delocalization and conductance quantization in finite onedimensional chains with only off-diagonal disorder coupled to leads. It is shown that the appearence of delocalized states at the middle of the band under correlated disorder is strongly dependent upon the even-odd parity of the number of sites in the system. In samples with inversion symmetry the conductance equals 2e/...
متن کاملTopology, delocalization via average symmetry and the symplectic Anderson transition.
A field theory of the Anderson transition in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of vortexlike topological defects is essential for localization. The sign of vortex fugacity determines the Z(2) topological class of the localized phase. There are two distinct fixed points with the same critical expone...
متن کاملCharge transfer versus molecular conductance: molecular orbital symmetry turns quantum interference rules upside down.
Destructive quantum interference has been shown to strongly reduce charge tunneling rates across molecular bridges. The current consensus is that destructive quantum interference occurs in cross-conjugated molecules, while linearly conjugated molecules exhibit constructive interference. Our experimental results on photoinduced charge transfer in donor-bridge-acceptor systems, however, show that...
متن کاملOn the Importance of Electronic Symmetry for Triplet State Delocalization
The influence of electronic symmetry on triplet state delocalization in linear zinc porphyrin oligomers is explored by electron paramagnetic resonance techniques. Using a combination of transient continuous wave and pulse electron nuclear double resonance spectroscopies, it is demonstrated experimentally that complete triplet state delocalization requires the chemical equivalence of all porphyr...
متن کاملQuantization of the Hall Conductance and Delocalization in Ergodic Landau Hamiltonians
We prove quantization of the Hall conductance for continuous ergodic Landau Hamiltonians under a condition on the decay of the Fermi projections. This condition and continuity of the integrated density of states are shown to imply continuity of the Hall conductance. In addition, we prove the existence of delocalization near each Landau level for these two-dimensional Hamiltonians. More precisel...
