Dirac wave transmission in Lévy disordered systems
arXiv:1902.09688 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.99.032118
Abstract
We investigate the propagation of electronic waves described by the Dirac equation subject to a Lévy-type disorder distribution. Our numerical calculations, based on the transfer matrix method, in a system with a distribution of potential barriers show that it presents a phase transition from anomalous to standard to anomalous localization as the incidence energy increases. In contrast, electronic waves described by the Schrödinger equation do not present such transitions. Moreover, we obtain the phase diagram delimiting anomalous and standard localization regimes, in the form of an incidence angle versus incidence energy diagram, and argue that transitions can also be characterized by the behavior of the dispersion of the transmission. We attribute this transition to an abrupt reduction in the transmittance of the system when the incidence angle is higher than a critical value which induces a decrease in the transmission fluctuations.
