Determination of the mobility edge in the Anderson model of localization in three dimensions by multifractal analysis.
1995
We study the Anderson model of localization in three dimensions with different probability distributions for the site energies. Using the Lanczos algorithm we calculate eigenvectors for different model parameters like disorder and energy. From these we derive the singularity spectrum typically used for the characterization of multifractal objects. We demonstrate that the singularity spectrum at the critical disorder, which determines the mobility edge at the band center, is independent of the employed probability distribution. Assuming that this singularity spectrum is universal for the metal-insulator transition regardless of specific parameters of the model we establish a straightforward …
Dimensionality Dependence of the Metal-Insulator Transition in the Anderson Model of Localization
1996
The metal-insulator transition is investigated by means of the transfer-matrix method to describe the critical behavior close to the lower critical dimension 2. We study several bifractal systems with fractal dimensions between 2 and 3. Together with 3D and 4D results, these data give a coherent description of the dimensionality dependence of the critical disorder and the critical exponent in terms of the spectral dimension of the samples. We also show that the upper critical dimension is probably infinite, certainly larger than 4.
MULTIFRACTAL ELECTRONIC WAVE FUNCTIONS IN THE ANDERSON MODEL OF LOCALIZATION
1992
Investigations of the multifractal properties of electronic wave functions in disordered samples are reviewed. The characteristic mass exponents of the multifractal measure, the generalized dimensions and the singularity spectra are discussed for typical cases. New results for large 3D systems are reported, suggesting that the multifractal properties at the mobility edge which separates localized and extended states are independent of the microscopic details of the model.
Dynamical Density-Matrix Renormalization Group for the Mott--Hubbard insulator in high dimensions
2004
We study the Hubbard model at half band-filling on a Bethe lattice with infinite coordination number in the paramagnetic insulating phase at zero temperature. We use the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) mapping to a single-impurity Anderson model with a bath whose properties have to be determined self-consistently. For a controlled and systematic implementation of the self-consistency scheme we use the fixed-energy (FE) approach to the DMFT. In FE-DMFT the onset and the width of the Hubbard bands are adjusted self-consistently but the energies of the bath levels are kept fixed relatively to both band edges during the calculation of self-consistent hybridization strengths between impurity …
How Universal is the Scaling Theory of Localization?
1991
The numerical implementation of the one-parameter scaling theory of localization is reviewed for the Anderson model of disordered solids. A finite-size scaling procedure is used to derive the 3D localization length and d.c.-conductivity from the raw data computed for quasi-1D systems by the strip-and-bar method. While a common scaling function can be unambiguously obtained for different distributions of the diagonal disorder in the Anderson model, discrepancies appear between the box and the Gaussian distribution with regard to the derived critical exponents. To discuss these effects, new results are presented for a triangular distribution, and a new method for the computation of the critic…
From orientational glasses to structural glasses: What computer simulations have contributed to understand experiments
2002
Abstract Orientational glasses, produced by random dilution of molecular crystals, exhibit a freezing transition of the quadrupole moments. Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models (generalization of the Edwards–Anderson spin glass model) have been used to elucidate this behavior. While short range models exhibit a static glass transition at zero temperature only, the infinite range Potts glass exhibits a transition where a glass order parameter appears discontinuously. At higher temperature, a dynamical transition occurs, described by mode-coupling theory (MCT). MCT has also been tested by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations of coarse-grained models of glass-forming polymers. W…
