Localization-induced Griffiths phase of disordered Anderson lattices.

چکیده
We demonstrate that local density of states fluctuations in disordered Anderson lattice models universally lead to the emergence of non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior. The NFL regime appears at moderate disorder ( W = Wc) and is characterized by power-law anomalies, e.g., C/T approximately 1/T((1-alpha)), where the exponent alpha varies continuously with disorder, as in other Griffiths phases. This Griffiths phase is not associated with the proximity to any magnetic ordering, but reflects the approach to a disorder-driven metal-insulator transition (MIT). Remarkably, the MIT takes place only at much larger disorder W(MIT) approximately 12Wc, resulting in an extraordinarily robust NFL metallic phase.

Localization effects and inelastic scattering in disordered heavy electrons
We study ground-state and finite-temperature properties of disordered heavy fermion metals by using a generalization of dynamical mean-field theory which incorporates Anderson localization effects. The emergence of a non-Fermi-liquid metallic behavior even at moderate disorder is shown to be a universal phenomenon resulting from local density of states fluctuations. This behavior is found to ha...
متن کاملLocalization effects in disordered Kondo lattices
We investigate the role of localization effects in the Kondo disorder mechanism for non-Fermi liquid behavior in disordered Kondo lattices. We find that the distribution of Kondo temperatures is strongly affected by fluctuations of the conduction electron density of states, a feature neglected in the previous treatment. For moderate disorder, the self-consistent distribution of Kondo temperatur...
متن کاملRoutes towards Anderson-like localization of Bose-Einstein condensates in disordered optical lattices.
We investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, possible routes towards Anderson-like localization of Bose-Einstein condensates in disordered potentials. The dependence of this quantum interference effect on the nonlinear interactions and the shape of the disorder potential is investigated. Experiments with an optical lattice and a superimposed disordered potential reveal the lack of And...
متن کاملLight localization in nonuniformly randomized lattices.
We address Anderson localization of light in disordered optical lattices where the disorder strength varies across the transverse direction. Such variation changes the preferred domains where formation of localized eigenmodes is most probable, hence drastically impacting light localization properties. Thus, step-like disorder results in formation of modes with different decay rates at both side...
متن کاملHow simple atoms mimic disorder
We establish a close quantitative analogy between the excitation and ionization process of highly excited one electron Rydberg states under microwave driving and charge transport across disordered 1D lattices. Our results open a new arena for Anderson localization – a disorder induced effect – in a large class of perfectly deterministic, decaying atomic systems. PACS. 32.80.Rm Multiphoton ioniz...
