Delocalization of relativistic Dirac particles in disordered one-dimensional systems and its implementation with cold atoms
arXiv:0810.0795 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.210403
Abstract
We study theoretically the localization of relativistic particles in disordered one-dimensional chains. It is found that the relativistic particles tend to dislocation in comparison with the non-relativistic particles with the same disorder strength. More intriguingly, we reveal that the massless Dirac particles are entirely delocalized for any energy due to the inherent chiral symmetry, leading to a well-known result that particles are always localized in one-dimensional system for arbitrary weak disorders to break down. Furthermore, we propose a feasible scheme to simulate and detect the delocalization feature of the Dirac particles with cold atoms..
