Numerical results for Anderson localisation in the presence of off-diagonal disorder

Abstract

Numerical calculations of the inverse participation ratio have been performed for the diamond cubic lattice with nearest neighbour interactions, and both diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. We confirm the prediction of Economou and Antoniou that off-diagonal disorder cannot, per se, produce an Anderson transition, although it reduces the amount of diagonal disorder necessary for the transition. In the presence of off-diagonal disorder alone we do not detect any substantial localisation even in the wings of the band.
