Are the critical exponents for Anderson localization due to disorder well understood?

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry

Semiclassical theory has been used, with some success, to discuss Anderson localization due to disorder. Our attention is focused on the quantum-chemical network model via a Boltzmann-like equation, and Garcia-Garcia's semiclassical approach, contacted with early work of Care and March on compensated semiconductor. This work is related with the recent semiclassical treatment on the effect of disorder on the nature of electron states in the quantum-chemical network model.

On the range of validity of a semiclassical relation between the critical exponents at the Anderson localization transition

Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids

Using Wegner's result relating critical exponents s and v for conductivity and localization length, respectively, via dimensionality d and that for v given by Garcia-Garcia, we derive what we term a semiclassical (Sc) relation for v in terms of s, which is independent of dimensionality. Forming the ratio s/v versus d from the above relations, s/v = 0 at d = 2 is due to a singularity in the sc relation for v. We argue that, in reality, s/v = 0 results from s being zero at d = 2. Finally we conjecture that (i) Wegner's prediction s/v = 1 when d = 3 and (ii) v tends to 1/2 at large s, are both insensitive to interactions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
