Abstract

We show that 1D lattice models exhibit superdiffusive transport in the presence of random "nodal impurities" in the absence of interaction. Here a nodal impurity is defined as a localized state, the wave function of which has zeros (nodes) in momentum space. The dynamics exponent zz, a defining quantity for transport behaviors, is computed to establish this result. To be specific, in a disordered system having only nodal impurities, the dynamical exponent z=4n/(4n1)z=4n/(4n-1) where nn is the order of the node. If the system has time reversal, the nodes appear in pairs and the dynamical exponent can be enhanced to z=8n/(8n1)z=8n/(8n-1). As 1<z<21<z<2, both cases indicate superdiffusive transport.
