Localization-delocalization transitions in a two-dimensional quantum percolation model: von Neumann entropy studies (0911.5531v1)

Abstract: In two-dimensional quantum site-percolation square lattice models, the von Neumann entropy is extensively studied numerically. At a certain eigenenergy, the localization-delocalization transition is reflected by the derivative of von Neumann entropy which is maximal at the quantum percolation threshold $p_q$. The phase diagram of localization-delocalization transitions is deduced in the extrapolation to infinite system sizes. The non-monotonic eigenenergies dependence of $p_q$ and the lowest value $p_q\simeq0.665$ are found. At localized-delocalized transition points, the finite scaling analysis for the von Neumann entropy is performed and it is found the critical exponents $\nu$ not to be universal. These studies provide a new evidence that the existence of a quantum percolation threshold $p_q<1$ in the two-dimensional quantum percolation problem.
