Low energy transition in spectral statistics of 2D interactingfermions

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We study the level spacing statistics P(s)P(s) and eigenstate properties of spinless fermions with Coulomb interaction on a two dimensional lattice at constant filling factor and various disorder strength. In the limit of large lattice size, P(s)P(s) undergoes a transition from the Poisson to the Wigner-Dyson distribution at a critical total energy independent of the number of fermions. This implies the emergence of quantum ergodicity induced by interaction and delocalization in the Hilbert space at zero temperature.
