We study numerically the form of the conductance distribution in the non-metallic regime for (1) weakly disordered systems which become insulating due to increase of the system length and (2) cubic d-dimensional systems, in which…
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…
We study a tight binding model including both on site disorder and coupling of the electrons to randomly oriented magnetic moments. The transport properties are calculated via the Kubo-Greenwood scheme, using the exact eigenstates of the…
We analyze theoretically the conductivity of Weyl semimetals within the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) in the full range of disorder strength, from weak to strong disorder. In the range of intermediate disorder, we find a…
In this study we investigate the effect of random point disorder on the surface states of a topological insulator with out-of-plane magnetization. We consider the disorder within a high order Born approximation. The Born series converges to…
The peculiar shape of the Fermi surface of topological nodal line semimetals at low carrier concentrations results in their unusual optical and transport properties. We analytically investigate the linear optical responses of three and…
A quantized Hall conductance (not conductivity) in three dimensions has been searched for more than 30 years. Here we explore it in 3D topological nodal-line semimetals, by using a model capable of describing all essential physics of a…
Features of a topological phase, and edge states in particular, may be obscured by overlapping in energy with a trivial conduction band. The topological nature of such a conductor, however, is revealed in its transport properties,…
Kubo formula is used to get the scaling behavior of the static conductance distribution of wide wires showing pure non-diagonal disorder. Following recent works that point to unusual phenomena in some circumstances, scaling at the band…
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 non-commutative theory of charge transport in mesoscopic aperiodic systems under magnetic fields, developed by Bellissard, Shulz-Baldes and collaborators in the 90's, is complemented with a practical numerical implementation. The…
We present a theoretical study of the phase-coherent DC conductivity of few-layered antimonene in the presence of surface disorder. It is well known that while a single layer is a trivial semiconductor, multiple layers (typically a minimum…
We report on a numerical study of quantum transport in disordered two dimensional graphene and graphene nanoribbons. By using the Kubo and the Landauer approaches, transport length scales in the diffusive (mean free path, charge mobilities)…
We investigate the influence of the hexagonal warping on the transport properties of the topological insulators. We study the charge conductivity within Kubo formalism in the first Born approximation using low energy expansion of the…
Weak topological insulators have an even number of Dirac cones in their surface spectrum and are thought to be unstable to disorder, which leads to an insulating surface. Here we argue that the presence of disorder alone will not localize…
Organic materials have attracted recent interest as thermoelectric (TE) converters due to their low cost and ease of fabrication. We examine the effects of disorder on the TE properties of semiconducting polymers based on the Gaussian…
In recent years, predictive computational modeling has become a cornerstone for the study of fundamental electronic, optical, and thermal properties in complex forms of condensed matter, including Dirac and topological materials. The…
We explore the charge transport mechanism in organic semiconductors based on a model that accounts for the thermal intermolecular disorder at work in pure crystalline compounds, as well as extrinsic sources of disorder that are present in…
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…
We study how the influence of structural correlations in disordered systems manifests itself in experimentally measurable magnitudes, focusing on dc conductance of semiconductor superlattices with general potential profiles. We show that…
