Crossover from pure-metallic behaviour to random singlet-localized regime

چکیده
In this paper we study the localization transition induced by the disorder in random antiferromagnetic spin1 2 chains. The results of numerical large scale computations are presented for the XX model using its free fermions representation. The scaling behavior of the spin stiffness is investigated for various disorder strengths. The disorder dependence of the localization length is studied and a comparison between numerical results and bosonization arguments is presented. A non trivial connection between localization effects and the crossover from the pure XX fixed point to the infinite randomness fixed point is pointed out. PACS. XX.XX.XX No PACS code given

متن کاملValence bond entanglement and fluctuations in random singlet phases
The ground state of the uniform antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain can be viewed as a strongly fluctuating liquid of valence bonds, while in disordered chains these bonds lock into random singlet states on long-length scales. We show that this phenomenon can be studied numerically, even in the case of weak disorder, by calculating the mean value of the number of valence bonds leaving a...
متن کاملLocalization in 2D quantum percolation
Quantum site percolation as a limiting case of binary alloy is studied numerically in 2D within the tightbinding model. We address the transport properties in all regimes ballistic, diffusive (metallic), localized and crossover between the latter two. Special attention is given to the region close to the conduction band center, but even there the Anderson localization persists, without signs of...
متن کاملAdjustable Plasmonic Bandgap in One-Dimensional Nanograting Based on Localized and Propagating Surface Plasmons
Compared to the long history of plasmonic gratings, there are only a few studies regarding the bandgap in the propagation of plasmonic surface waves. Considering the previous studies on interpretation of plasmonic bandgap formation, we discuss this phenomenon using the effect of both surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and localized surface plasmon (LSP) for our fabricated one-dimensional metallic-...
متن کاملTransition from the metallic into the localized phase: the conductance distribution
We study numerically the changes of the conductance distribution P (g) caused by the transition of the system from the metallic into the insulating regime. Two different scenarios of the transition are discussed and compared: (i) localization in the weakly disordered quasi-one dimensional systems and (ii) disorder-induced localization. Transition from the metallic into the localized regime is a...
