Abstract
The transport statistics of the 1D chain and metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons with hopping disorder are studied, with a focus on understanding the crossover between the zero-energy critical point and the localized regime at larger energy. In this crossover region, transport is found to be described by a two parameter scaling with the ratio $s$ of system size to mean free path, and the product $r$ of energy and scattering time. This two parameter scaling shows excellent data collapse across a wide a variety of system sizes, energies, and disorder strengths. The numerically obtained transport distributions in this regime are found to be well described by a Nakagami distribution, whose form is controlled up to an overall scaling by the ratio $s/{|lnr|}^{2}$. For sufficiently small values of this parameter, transport appears virtually identical to that of the zero-energy critical point, while at large values, a Gaussian distribution corresponding to exponential localization is recovered. For intermediate values, the distribution interpolates smoothly between these two limits.
