Fluctuations of the correlation dimension at metal-insulator transitions.

چکیده
We investigate numerically the inverse participation ratio, P(2), of the 3D Anderson model and of the power-law random banded matrix (PRBM) model at criticality. We found that the variance of lnP(2) scales with system size L as sigma(2)(L) = sigma(2)(infinity)-AL(-D(2)/2d), with D(2) being the correlation dimension and d the system dimension. Therefore the concept of a correlation dimension is well defined in the two models considered. The 3D Anderson transition and the PRBM transition for b = 0.3 (see the text for the definition of b) are fairly similar with respect to all critical magnitudes studied.

Quantum critical “opalescence” around metal-insulator transitions
Divergent carrier-density fluctuations equivalent to the critical opalescence of gas-liquid transition emerge around a metal-insulator critical point at a finite temperature. In contrast to the gas-liquid transitions, however, the critical temperature can be lowered to zero, which offers a challenging quantum phase transition. We present a microscopic description of such quantum critical phenom...

The Bose Metal: gauge field fluctuations and scaling for field tuned quantum phase transitions Abstract In this paper, we extend our previous discussion of the Bose metal to the field tuned case. We point out that the recent observation of the metallic state as an intermediate phase between the superconductor and the insulator in the field tuned experiments on MoGe films is in perfect consisten...
متن کاملAvoided Band Crossings: Tuning Metal-Insulator Transitions in Chaotic Systems
We show that avoided crossings of energy bands may give rise to a variety of phenomena such as transitions from metal to insulator and vice versa, changes in localization lengths, and changes in the fractal dimension of energy spectra. We explain the occurrence of these phenomena in the kicked Harper model under classically chaotic conditions and predict them to occur in other systems. [S0031-9...
متن کاملQuantum fluctuations and glassy behavior of electrons near metal-insulator transitions
Glassy behavior is a generic feature of electrons close to disorder-driven metal-insulator transitions. Deep in the insulating phase, electrons are tightly bound to impurities, and thus classical models for electron glasses have long been used. As the metallic phase is approached, quantum fluctuations become more important, as they control the electronic mobility. In this paper we review recent...

We study a spinless two-band model at half-filling in the limit of infinite dimensions. The ground state of this model in the non-interacting limit is a band-insulator. We identify transitions to a metal and to a charge-Mott insulator, using a combination of analytical, Quantum Monte Carlo, and zero temperature recursion methods. The metallic phase is a non-Fermi liquid state with algebraic loc...
