Abstract

The localization in a disordered system of NN interacting spins coupled by the long-range anisotropic interaction 1/Rα1/R^{\alpha} is investigated using a finite size scaling in a d=1d=1 -dimensional system for N=8,10,12,14N=8, 10, 12, 14. The results supports the absence of localization in the infinite system at α<2d\alpha<2d and a scaling of a critical energy disordering WcN2dαW_{c} \propto N^{2d-\alpha} in agreement with the analytical theory suggesting the energy delocalization in the subset of interacting resonant pairs of spins as a precursor of the many-body delocalization.The spin relaxation rate kk dependence on disordering kW2k \propto W^{-2} has been revealed in the practically interesting case α=d\alpha=d. This relaxation mechanism can be responsible for the anomalous relaxation of quantum two level systems in amorphous solids.
