Abstract

We study delocalization transition in a many body system in two dimension. We identify the presence of a complex vector potential that gives rise to this transition.

Criterion for the occurrence of many-body localization in the presence of a single-particle mobility edge

Ranjan Modak, Soumi Ghosh, Subroto Mukerjee

Noninteracting fermions in one dimension can undergo a localization-delocalization transition in the presence of a quasiperiodic potential as a function of that potential. In the presence of interactions, this transition transforms into a many-body localization (MBL) transition. Recent studies have suggested that this type of transition can also occur in models with quasiperiodic potentials that possess single-particle mobility edges. Two such models were studied by Modak and Mukerjee [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 230401 (2015)] but only one was found to exhibit an MBL transition in the presence of interactions while the other one did not. In this work we investigate the occurrence of MBL in the presence of weak interactions in five different models with single-particle mobility edges in one dimension with a view to obtaining a criterion for the same. We find that not all such models undergo a thermal-MBL phase transition in the presence of weak interactions. We propose a criterion to determine whether MBL is likely to occur in the presence of interaction based only on the properties of the noninteracting models. The relevant quantity $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ is a measure of how localized the localized states are relative to how delocalized the delocalized states are in the noninteracting model. We also study various other features of the noninteracting models such as the divergence of the localization length at the mobility edge and the presence or absence of ``ergodicity'' and localization in their many-body eigenstates. However, we find that these features cannot be used to predict the occurrence of MBL upon the introduction of weak interactions.

Many-Body Localization in the Presence of a Single-Particle Mobility Edge

Ranjan Modak, Subroto Mukerjee

In one dimension, noninteracting particles can undergo a localization-delocalization transition in a quasiperiodic potential. Recent studies have suggested that this transition transforms into a many-body localization (MBL) transition upon the introduction of interactions. It has also been shown that mobility edges can appear in the single particle spectrum for certain types of quasiperiodic potentials. Here, we investigate the effect of interactions in two models with such mobility edges. Employing the technique of exact diagonalization for finite-sized systems, we calculate the level spacing distribution, time evolution of entanglement entropy, optical conductivity, and return probability to detect MBL. We find that MBL does indeed occur in one of the two models we study, but the entanglement appears to grow faster than logarithmically with time unlike in other MBL systems.
