چکیده

The Anderson model for independent electrons in a disordered potential is transformed analytically and exactly to a basis of random extended states leading to a variant of augmented space. In addition to the widely accepted phase diagrams in all physical dimensions, a plethora of additional, weaker Anderson transitions are found, characterized by the long-distance behavior of states. Critical disorders are found for Anderson transitions at which the asymptotically dominant sector of augmented space changes for all states at the same disorder. At fixed disorder, critical energies are also found at which the localization properties of states are singular. Under the approximation of single-parameter scaling, this phase diagram reduces to the widely accepted one in one, two, and three dimensions. In two dimensions, in addition to the Anderson transition at infinitesimal disorder, there is a transition between two localized states, characterized by a change in the nature of wave function decay.

Phase diagram of the three-dimensional Anderson model of localization with random hopping

Abstract. We examine the localization properties of the three-dimensional (3D) Anderson Hamiltonian with off-diagonal disorder using the transfer-matrix method (TMM) and finitesize scaling (FSS). The nearest-neighbor hopping elements are chosen randomly according to tij ∈ [c− 1/2, c+1/2]. We find that the off-diagonal disorder is not strong enough to localize all states in the spectrum in contr...

Band-center anomaly of the conductance distribution in one-dimensional Anderson localization

We analyze the conductance distribution function in the one-dimensional Anderson model of localization, for weak disorder but arbitrary energy. For energy at the band center the distribution function deviates from the form that is assumed to be universal in single-parameter scaling theory. A direct link to the breakdown of the random-phase approximation is established. Our findings are confirme...

Single-parameter scaling in one-dimensional Anderson localization: Exact analytical solution

The variance of the Lyapunov exponent is calculated exactly in the one-dimensional Anderson model with random site energies distributed according to the Cauchy distribution. We derive an exact analytical criterion for the validity of single-parameter scaling in this model. According to this criterion, states with energies within the conduction band of the underlying nonrandom system satisfy sin...

Dielectric Response of the Interacting 1D Spinless Fermions with Disorder

Dielectric responces of the one-dimentional electron system is investigated numerically. We treat an interacting one-dimentional spinless fermion model with disorder by using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group(DMRG) method which is extended for nonuniform systems. We apply an electric field E to the system and calculate dielectric responces. Dielectric responce of the Mott insulator and t...

Single parameter scaling in one-dimensional localization revisited

The variance of the Lyapunov exponent is calculated exactly in the one-dimensional Anderson model with random site energies distributed according to the Cauchy distribution. We find a new significant scaling parameter in the system, and derive an exact analytical criterion for single parameter scaling which differs from the commonly used condition of phase randomization. The results obtained ar...
