In the absence of nonlinearity all normal modes (NMs) of a chain with disorder are spatially localized (Anderson localization). We study the action of nonlinearity, whose strength is ramped linearly in time. It leads to a spreading of a…

The quest for nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions is often hampered by the tendency of driving and dissipation to give rise to an effective temperature, resulting in classical behavior. Could this be different when the dissipation is…

The localization of one-electron states in the large (but finite) disorder limit is investigated. The inverse participation number shows a non--monotonic behavior as a function of energy owing to anomalous behavior of few-site localization.…
A new approach is applied to the 1D Anderson model by making use of a two-dimensional Hamiltonian map. For a weak disorder this approach allows for a simple derivation of correct expressions for the localization length both at the center…
The localization properties of electrons moving in a plane perpendicular to a spatially-correlated static magnetic field of random amplitude and vanishing mean are investigated. We apply the method of level statistics to the eigenvalues and…
Using a finite-size scaling method, we calculate the localization properties of a disordered two-dimensional electron system in the presence of a random magnetic field. Below a critical energy $E_c$ all states are localized and the…
In the vast majority of many-body problems, it is the kinetic energy part of the Hamiltonian that is best known microscopically, and it is the detailed form of the interactions between the particles, the potential energy term, that is…
We investigate a tight-binding electronic chain featuring diagonal and off-diagonal disorder, these being modelled through the long-range-correlated fractional Brownian motion. Particularly, by employing exact diagonalization methods, we…
We investigate two one-dimensional tight-binding models with disorder that have extended states at zero energy. We use exact and partial diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian to obtain the eigenmodes and the associated participation ratios,…
