Scaling up the Anderson transition in random-regular graphs

We study the Anderson transition in lattices with the connectivity of a random-regular graph. Our results show that fractal dimensions are continuous across the transition, but a discontinuity occurs in their derivatives, implying the existence of a nonergodic metallic phase with multifractal eigens...

description We study the Anderson transition in lattices with the connectivity of a random-regular graph. Our results show that fractal dimensions are continuous across the transition, but a discontinuity occurs in their derivatives, implying the existence of a nonergodic metallic phase with multifractal eigenstates. The scaling analysis gives critical exponent ν=0.94±0.08 and critical disorder W_{c}=18.17±0.02. Our data support that ergodicity is only recovered at zero disorder.
