Modelling sample-to-sample fluctuations of the gap ratio in finite disordered spin chains

Abstract
We study sample-to-sample fluctuations of the gap ratio in the energy spectra in finite disordered spin chains. The chains are described by the random-field Ising model and the Heisenberg model. We show that away from the ergodic/nonergodic crossover, the fluctuations are correctly captured by the Rosenzweig-Porter (RP) model. However, fluctuations in the microscopic models significantly exceed those in the RP model in the vicinity of the crossover. We show that upon introducing an extension to the RP model, one correctly reproduces the fluctuations in all regimes, i.e., in the ergodic and nonergodic regimes as well as at the crossover between them. Finally, we demonstrate how to reduce the sample-to-sample fluctuations in both studied microscopic models.
