Singular Density of States of Disordered Dirac Fermions in the Chiral Models

Abstract

The Dirac fermion in the random chiral models is studied which includes the random gauge field model and the random hopping model. We focus on a connection between continuum and lattice models to give a clear perspective for the random chiral models. Two distinct structures of density of states (DoS) around zero energy, one is a power-law dependence on energy in the intermediate energy range and the other is a diverging one at zero energy, are revealed by an extensive numerical study for large systems up to $250\times 250$. For the random hopping model, our finding of the diverging DoS within very narrow energy range reconciles previous inconsistencies between the lattice and the continuum models.
