Abstract

We report a numerical investigation of the Anderson transition in two-dimensional systems with spin-orbit coupling. An accurate estimate of the critical exponent ν\nu for the divergence of the localization length in this universality class has to our knowledge not been reported in the literature. Here we analyse the SU(2) model. We find that for this model corrections to scaling due to irrelevant scaling variables may be neglected permitting an accurate estimate of the exponent ν=2.73±0.02\nu=2.73 \pm 0.02.
