Abstract

For a one dimensional half-infinite chain with diagonal disorder we calculated the ultimate at $t\to\infty$ value of the average excitation density at the edge site $D$ if at $t=0$ the excitation was localised at the edge site (Anderson' s creterium). We obtained the following results: i) for the binary disordered chain we derived the close expression for $D$ which is exact in the limit of low concentration of defects and is valid for an arbitrary energy of defects $\varepsilon$. In this case $D$ demonstrated the non analytical dependence on $\varepsilon$. ii) The close expression for $D$ is obtained for the case of an arbitrary small disorder. iii) The relative contribution of states with specified energy to $D$ is calculated. All the results obtained are in complete agreement with computer simulation.

Magnetic correlations in the Anderson lattice: An exact-diagonalization study

Paolo Maria Santini, Lucio Claudio Andreani, Hans Beck

The ground-state properties of the periodic Anderson model on one-dimensional chains from three to six sites are studied by exact diagonalization. An appropriate average over boundary conditions is found to be necessary in order to eliminate finite-size oscillations. In the weak-coupling limit, the results for the short-range correlations suggest a smooth transition from a ferromagnetic state at low electron concentration to an antiferromagnetic state at half-filling, rather than a sudden jump at a critical concentration.

Anderson-Mott transition in a disordered Hubbard chain with correlated hopping

Francesca Battista, Alberto Camjayi, Liliana Arrachea

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the Anderson-Hubbard model with correlated hopping at half-filling in one dimension. The Hamiltonian has a local Coulomb repulsion $U$ and a disorder potential with local energies randomly distributed in the interval $(\ensuremath{-}W,+W)$ with equal probability, acting on the singly occupied sites. The hopping process which modifies the number of doubly occupied sites is forbidden. The hopping between nearest-neighbor singly occupied and empty sites or between singly occupied and doubly occupied sites has the same amplitude $t$. We identify three different phases as functions of the disorder amplitude $W$ and Coulomb interaction strength $U>0$. When $U<4t$ the system shows a metallic phase: (i) only when no disorder is present $W=0$ or an Anderson-localized phase, (ii) when disorder is introduced $W\ensuremath{\ne}0$. When $U>4t$ the Anderson-localized phase survives as long as disorder effects dominate on the interaction effects, otherwise a Mott-insulator phase (iii) arises. Phases (i) and (ii) are characterized by a finite density of doublons and a vanishing charge gap among the ground state and the excited states. Phase (iii) is characterized by the vanishing density of doublons and a finite gap for the charge excitations.

Anderson localization of excitations in disordered Gross-Pitaevskii lattices

Yağmur Katı, M. V. Fistul, Alexander Yu. Cherny +1 more

We examine the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii lattice at zero temperature in the presence of uncorrelated disorder. We obtain analytical expressions for the thermodynamic properties of the ground state field and compare them with numerical simulations both in the low- and high-density regimes. We analyze weak excitations above the ground state and compute the localization properties of Bogoliubov--de Gennes modes. In the long-wavelength limit, these modes delocalize in accordance with the extended nature of the ground state. For high densities, we observe and derive a divergence of their localization length at finite energy due to an effective correlated disorder induced by the weak ground state field fluctuations. We derive effective high-density field equations for the excitations and generalize to higher dimensions.

Breaking the chains: Extreme value statistics and localization in random spin chains

Jeanne Colbois, Nicolas Laflorencie

Despite a very good understanding of single-particle Anderson localization in one-dimensional (1D) disordered systems, many-body effects are still full of surprises; a famous example is the interaction-driven many-body localization (MBL) problem, about which much has been written, and perhaps the best is yet to come. Interestingly enough the noninteracting limit provides a natural playground to study nontrivial multiparticle physics, offering the possibility to test some general mechanisms with very large-scale exact diagonalization simulations. In this paper, we first revisit the 1D many-body Anderson insulator through the lens of extreme value theory, focusing on the extreme polarizations of the equivalent spin chain model in a random magnetic field. A many-body-induced chain breaking mechanism is explored numerically, and compared to an analytically solvable toy model. A unified description, from weak to large disorder strengths $W$ emerges, where the disorder-dependent average localization length $\ensuremath{\xi}(W)$ governs the extreme events leading to chain breaks. In particular, tails of the local magnetization distributions are controlled by $\ensuremath{\xi}(W)$. Remarkably, we also obtain a quantitative understanding of the full distribution of the extreme polarizations, which is given by a Fr\'echet-type law. In a second part, we explore finite interaction physics and the MBL question. For the available system sizes, we numerically quantify the difference in the extreme value distributions between the interacting problem and the noninteracting Anderson case. Strikingly, we observe a sharp ``extreme-statistics transition'' as $W$ changes, which may coincide with the MBL transition.

Anderson localization for two interacting electrons in a disordered chain

S. N. Evangelou, Shi‐Jie Xiong, Eleftherios N. Economou

We present an exact diagonalization study of the localization properties and the corresponding dynamics for two electrons interacting via on-site Hubbard terms in a finite disordered chain. We obtain three kinds of two-electron states: (i) states almost unchanged by the interaction with the two electrons well separated from each other, (ii) others with the localization length increased by the interaction, and (iii) states for which the interaction decreases the localization length. The physical origin of these states and their distribution in the band is examined from weak to strong interactions. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Application of infinite order perturbation theory in linear systems. II. The frequency spectrum of disordered chains

Shiyu Wu

A formulation is presented such that the ensemble average of the diagonal elements of the Green's function for a one-dimensional disordered system can be calculated to arbitrary accuracy. The method is illustrated with an application to an isotopically disordered chain. An approximate solution to the frequency spectrum of a disordered binary chain is also discussed.

For a one dimensional half-infinite chain with diagonal disorder we calculated the ultimate at t→∞t\to\inftyt→∞ value of the average excitation density at the edge site DDD if at t=0t=0t=0 the excitation was localised at the edge site (Anderson' s creterium). We obtained the following results: i) for the binary disordered chain we derived the close expression for DDD which is exact in the limit of low concentration of defects and is valid for an arbitrary energy of defects ε\varepsilonε. In this case DDD demonstrated the non analytical dependence on ε\varepsilonε. ii) The close expression for DDD is obtained for the case of an arbitrary small disorder. iii) The relative contribution of states with specified energy to DDD is calculated. All the results obtained are in complete agreement with computer simulation.

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the Anderson-Hubbard model with correlated hopping at half-filling in one dimension. The Hamiltonian has a local Coulomb repulsion UUU and a disorder potential with local energies randomly distributed in the interval $(\ensuremath{-}W,+W)$ with equal probability, acting on the singly occupied sites. The hopping process which modifies the number of doubly occupied sites is forbidden. The hopping between nearest-neighbor singly occupied and empty sites or between singly occupied and doubly occupied sites has the same amplitude ttt. We identify three different phases as functions of the disorder amplitude WWW and Coulomb interaction strength U>0U>0U>0. When U<4tU<4tU<4t the system shows a metallic phase: (i) only when no disorder is present W=0W=0W=0 or an Anderson-localized phase, (ii) when disorder is introduced $W\ensuremath{\ne}0$. When U>4tU>4tU>4t the Anderson-localized phase survives as long as disorder effects dominate on the interaction effects, otherwise a Mott-insulator phase (iii) arises. Phases (i) and (ii) are characterized by a finite density of doublons and a vanishing charge gap among the ground state and the excited states. Phase (iii) is characterized by the vanishing density of doublons and a finite gap for the charge excitations.
