Quasi-localized states in disordered metals and non-analyticity of the level curvature distribution function

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the quasi-localized states in weakly disordered systems can lead to the non-analytical distribution of level curvatures. In 2D systems the distribution function P(K) has a branching point at K=0. In quasi-1D systems the non-analyticity at K=0 is very weak, and in 3D metals it is absent at all. Such a behavior confirms the conjecture that the branching at K=0 is due to the multi-fractality of wave functions and thus is a generic feature of all critical eigenstates. The relationsip between the branching power and the multi-fractality exponent η(2)\eta(2) is derived.
