Anderson transition in three-dimensional disordered systems with symplectic symmetry

Abstract

The Anderson transition in a 3D system with symplectic symmetry is investigated numerically. From a one-parameter scaling analysis the critical exponent $\nu$ of the localization length is extracted and estimated to be $\nu =1.3\pm 0.2$. The level statistics at the critical point are also analyzed and shown to be scale independent. The form of the energy level spacing distribution $P(s)$ at the critical point is found to be different from that for the orthogonal ensemble suggesting that the breaking of spin rotation symmetry is relevant at the critical point.
