Bulk Fermi arc of disordered Dirac fermions in two dimensions

Michał Papaj, Hiroki Isobe, Liang Fu

We show that disordered Dirac fermion systems in two dimensions generally exhibit bulk Fermi arc replacing the Dirac point in the clean limit, provided that the Dirac fermion arises from two distinct orbitals unrelated by symmetry. This result is explicitly demonstrated in a disordered Dirac model that we introduce, where the disorder potential acts differently on the two orbitals and drives the system into a new strongly disordered phase.

Global phase diagram of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in random potentials

Shinsei Ryu, Christopher Mudry, A. W. W. Ludwig +1 more

Anderson localization is studied for two flavors of massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional space perturbed by static disorder that is invariant under a chiral symmetry (chS) and a time-reversal symmetry (TRS) operation which, when squared, is equal either to plus or minus the identity. The former TRS (symmetry class BDI) can, for example, be realized when the Dirac fermions emerge from spinless fermions hopping on a two-dimensional lattice with a linear energy dispersion such as the honeycomb lattice (graphene) or the square lattice with $\ensuremath{\pi}$ flux per plaquette. The latter TRS is realized by the surface states of three-dimensional ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}^{\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}}$ -topological band insulators in symmetry class CII. In the phase diagram parametrized by the disorder strengths, there is an infrared stable line of critical points for both symmetry classes BDI and CII. Here we discuss a ``global phase diagram'' in which disordered Dirac fermion systems in all three chiral symmetry classes, AIII, CII, and BDI, occur in four quadrants, sharing one corner which represents the clean Dirac fermion limit. This phase diagram also includes symmetry classes AII [e.g., appearing at the surface of a disordered three-dimensional ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}^{\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}}$ -topological band insulator in the spin-orbit (symplectic) symmetry class] and D (e.g., the random bond Ising model in two dimensions) as boundaries separating regions of the phase diagram belonging to the three chS classes AIII, BDI, and CII. Moreover, we argue that physics of Anderson localization in the CII phase can be presented in terms of a non-linear-$\ensuremath{\sigma}$ model (NL$\ensuremath{\sigma}$M) with a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}^{\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}}$ -topological term. We thereby complete the derivation of topological or Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms in the NL$\ensuremath{\sigma}$M description of disordered fermionic models in all ten symmetry classes relevant to Anderson localization in two spatial dimensions.Anderson localization is studied for two flavors of massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional space perturbed by static disorder that is invariant under a chiral symmetry (chS) and a time-reversal symmetry (TRS) operation which, when squared, is equal either to plus or minus the identity.

Interaction effects on random Dirac fermions

Takahiro Fukui

We study a Dirac fermion model with three kinds of disorder as well as a marginal interaction which forms the critical line of $c=1$ conformal field theory. Computing scaling equations by the use of a perturbative renormalization group method, we investigate how such an interaction affects the universality classes of disordered systems with non-interacting fermions. We show that some specific fixed points are stable against an interaction, whereas others are unstable and flow to new random critical points with a finite interaction.We study a Dirac fermion model with three kinds of disorder as well as a marginal interaction which forms the critical line of $c=1$ conformal field theory.
