Exactly Solvable Model with Two Conductor-Insulator Transitions Driven by Impurities
Michel Bauer, O. Golinelli · Physical Review Letters · 2001
We present an exact analysis of two conductor-insulator transitions in the random graph model where low connectivity means high impurity concentration. The adjacency matrix of the random graph is used as a hopping Hamiltonian. We compute the height of the delta peak at zero energy in its spectrum exactly and describe analytically the structure and contribution of localized eigenvectors. The system is a conductor for average connectivities between 1.421 529ellipsis and 3.154 985ellipsis but an insulator in the other regimes. We explain the spectral singularity at average connectivity e = 2.718 281ellipsis and relate it to other enumerative problems in random graph theory.
