Non-locally correlated disorder and delocalization in one dimension (II). Localization length

Abstract

We study the delocalization transition in a one-dimensional Dirac fermion system with randomly varying mass by using supersymmetric (SUSY) methods. In a previous paper, we calculated density of states and found that (quasi-) extended states near the band center are enhanced by non-local correlation of the random Dirac mass. Numerical studies support this conclusion. In this paper, we calculate the localization length as a function of the correlation length of the disorder. The result shows that the localization length is an increasing function of the correlation of the random mass.
