Dirac Fermions with Disorder in Two Dimensions: Exact Result
Abstract
Dirac fermions on a two-dimensional lattice with disorder are considered. The Dirac mass, which controls the gap between the two bands of the fermions, is subject to random fluctuations. Another type of disorder is discussed presented by a random vector potential. It is shown that the imaginary part of the one-particle Green's function can be written as the imaginary part of another Green's function which has only poles on the lower half-plane. Therefore, it is possible to perform a Cauchy integration for a Lorentzian distribution in analogy with the Lloyd model. The results are compared with calculations performed in the continuum limit based on renormalization group and bosonization methods.
