Disorder in Quantum Spin Hall Systems
[ 講演概要 ]
The quantum spin Hall phase is a novel state of matter with
topological properties. It might be realized in graphene and
probably also in type III semiconductors quantum wells.
Most recent theoretical treatments of this phase discuss its
occurrence in clean systems with perfect crystal symmetry.
In this seminar I will report on a recent work (in collaboration
with N. Nagaosa and M. Onoda) on disordered quantum spin Hall
systems. Following a brief introduction and background I will
discuss the persistence of topological terms also in disordered
systems (following a recent work of Sheng and Haldane) and
then present our results on the localization problem in two
dimensional systems. Due to spin-orbit interaction, there
is a metallic phase as is well known
for the symplectic ensemble. Together with the existence of
a topological term it leads to some surprising results regarding
the scaling theory of localization.
