We investigate the longitudinal conductance of a disordered three-dimensional (3D) quantum Hall system within a tight-binding lattice model using numerical Thouless conductance calculations. For the bulk, we confirm that the mobility edges…

We study the fractional quantum Hall effect in three dimensional systems consisting of infinitely many stacked two dimensional electron gases placed in transverse magnetic fields. This limit introduces new features into the bulk physics…

We explore a novel transport phenomenon by studying the effect of surface disorder on electron transport through a finite size conductor with side coupled metallic electrodes. In the strong disorder regime the current amplitude increases…

The two-dimensional surface of a coupled multilayer integer quantum Hall system consists of an anisotropic chiral metal. This unusual metal is characterized by ballistic motion transverse and diffusive motion parallel (\hat{z}) to the…

We study the effect of electrostatic disorder on the conductivity of a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic insulator (a stack of quantum anomalous Hall layers with staggered magnetization). The phase diagram contains regions where the…

Three-dimensional topological insulators feature Dirac-like surface states which are topologically protected against the influence of weak quenched disorder. Here we investigate the effect of surface disorder beyond the weak-disorder limit…

We study localization in layered, three-dimensional conductors in strong magnetic fields. We demonstrate the existence of three phases - insulator, metal and quantized Hall conductor - in the two-dimensional parameter space obtained by…

Typical Weyl semimetals host chiral surface states and hence show an anomalous Hall response. Although a Weyl semimetal phase is known to be robust against weak disorder, the influence of disorder on chiral states is not fully clarified so…

We study the influence of on-site disorder on the magnetic properties of the ground state of the infinite $U$ Hubbard model. We find that for one dimensional systems disorder has no influence, while for two dimensional systems disorder…

The double Weyl semimetal (DWSM) is a newly proposed topological material that hosts Weyl points with chiral charge n=2. The disorder effect in DWSM is investigated by adopting the tight-binding Hamiltonian. Using the transfer matrix method…

Low energy excitation of surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator (3DTI) can be described by Dirac fermions. By using a tight-binding model, the transport properties of the surface states in a uniform magnetic field is…

We develop a simple systematic method, valid for all strengths of disorder, to obtain analytically the full distribution of conductances P(g) for a quasi one dimensional wire within the model of non-interacting fermions. The method has been…

We investigate the potential of the surface states of 3D nodal-line semimetals to produce surface and 3D quantized Hall effects in which the electronic currents flow unidirectionally along the surface of the material. This phenomenology is…

The effect of surface disorder on electronic systems is particularly interesting for topological phases with surface and edge states. Using exact diagonalization, it has been demonstrated that the surface states of a 3D topological…

The surface states of a topological insulator in a fine-tuned magnetic field are ideal candidates for realizing a topological metal which is protected against disorder. Its signatures are (1) a conductance plateau in long wires in a finely…

Quantum transport properties in quantum Hall wires in the presence of spatially correlated disordered magnetic fields are investigated numerically. It is found that the correlation drastically changes the transport properties associated…

Effects of correlated disorder on wave localization have attracted considerable interest. Motivated by the importance of studies of quantum transport in rough nanowires, here we examine how colored surface roughness impacts the conductance…

We calculate the distribution of the conductance P(g) for a quasi-one-dimensional system in the metal to insulator crossover regime, based on a recent analytical method valid for all strengths of disorder. We show the evolution of P(g) as a…

The search for topologically non-trivial states of matter has become an important goal for condensed matter physics. Here, we give a theoretical introduction to the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect based on magnetic topological…
