We investigate, analytically near the dimension $d_{uc}=4$ and numerically in $d=3$, the non equilibrium relaxational dynamics of the randomly diluted Ising model at criticality. Using the Exact Renormalization Group Method to one loop, we compute the two times $t,t_w$ correlation function and Fluctuation Dissipation Ratio (FDR) for any Fourier mode of the order parameter, of finite wave vector $q$. In the large time separation limit, the FDR is found to reach a non trivial value $X^{infty}$ independently of (small) $q$ and coincide with the FDR associated to the the {it total} magnetization obtained previously. Explicit calculations in real space show that the FDR associated to the {it local} magnetization converges, in the asymptotic limit, to this same value $X^{infty}$. Through a Monte Carlo simulation, we compute the autocorrelation function in three dimensions, for different values of the dilution fraction $p$ at $T_c(p)$. Taking properly into account the corrections to scaling, we find, according to the Renormalization Group predictions, that the autocorrelation exponent $lambda_c$ is independent on $p$. The analysis is complemented by a study of the non equilibrium critical dynamics following a quench from a completely ordered state.

It is well known that for ordinary one-dimensional (1D) disordered systems, the Anderson localization length $xi$ diverges as $lambda^m$ in the long wavelength limit ($lambdarightarrow infty$ ) with a universal exponent $m=2$, independent of the type of disorder. Here, we show rigorously that pseudospin-1 systems exhibit non-universal critical behaviors when they are subjected to 1D random potentials. In such systems, we find that $xipropto lambda^m$ with $m$ depending on the type of disorder. For binary disorder, $m=6$ and the fast divergence is due to a super-Klein-tunneling effect (SKTE). When we add additional potential fluctuations to the binary disorder, the critical exponent $m$ crosses over from 6 to 4 as the wavelength increases. Moreover, for disordered superlattices, in which the random potential layers are separated by layers of background medium, the exponent $m$ is further reduced to 2 due to the multiple reflections inside the background layer. To obtain the above results, we developed a new analytic method based on a stack recursion equation. Our analytical results are in excellent agreements with the numerical results obtained by the transfer-matrix method (TMM). For pseudospin-1/2 systems, we find both numerically and analytically that $xiproptolambda^2$ for all types of disorder, same as ordinary 1D disordered systems. Our new analytical method provides a convenient way to obtain easily the critical exponent $m$ for general 1D Anderson localization problems.
We study the properties of the avoided or hidden quantum critical point (AQCP) in three dimensional Dirac and Weyl semi-metals in the presence of short range potential disorder. By computing the averaged density of states (along with its second and fourth derivative at zero energy) with the kernel polynomial method (KPM) we systematically tune the effective length scale that eventually rounds out the transition and leads to an AQCP. We show how to determine the strength of the avoidance, establishing that it is not controlled by the long wavelength component of the disorder. Instead, the amount of avoidance can be adjusted via the tails of the probability distribution of the local random potentials. A binary distribution with no tails produces much less avoidance than a Gaussian distribution. We introduce a double Gaussian distribution to interpolate between these two limits. As a result we are able to make the length scale of the avoidance sufficiently large so that we can accurately study the properties of the underlying transition (that is eventually rounded out), unambiguously identify its location, and provide accurate estimates of the critical exponents $ u=1.01pm0.06$ and $z=1.50pm0.04$. We also show that the KPM expansion order introduces an effective length scale that can also round out the transition in the scaling regime near the AQCP.
Barkhausen noise as found in magnets is studied both with and without the presence of long-range (LR) demagnetizing fields using the non-equilibrium, zero-temperature random-field Ising model. Two distinct subloop behaviors arise and are shown to be in qualitative agreement with experiments on thin film magnets and soft ferromagnets. With LR fields present subloops resemble a self-organized critical system, while their absence results in subloops that reflect the critical point seen in the saturation loop as the system disorder is changed. In the former case, power law distributions of noise are found in subloops, while in the latter case history-induced critical scaling is studied in avalanche size distributions, spin-flip correlation functions, and finite-size scaling of the second moments of the size distributions. Results are presented for simulations of over 10^8 spins.
We show that the intermittent and self-similar fluctuations displayed by a slow crack during the propagation in a heterogeneous medium can be quantitatively described by an extension of a classical statistical model for fracture. The model yields the correct dynamical and morphological scaling, and allows to demonstrate that the scale invariance originates from the presence of a non-equilibrium, reversible, critical transition which in the presence of dissipation gives rise to self organized critical behaviour.

The electronic properties of non-interacting particles moving on a two-dimensional bricklayer lattice are investigated numerically. In particular, the influence of disorder in form of a spatially varying random magnetic flux is studied. In addition, a strong perpendicular constant magnetic field $B$ is considered. The density of states $rho(E)$ goes to zero for $Eto 0$ as in the ordered system, but with a much steeper slope. This happens for both cases: at the Dirac point for B=0 and at the center of the central Landau band for finite $B$. Close to the Dirac point, the dependence of $rho(E)$ on the system size, on the disorder strength, and on the constant magnetic flux density is analyzed and fitted to an analytical expression proposed previously in connection with the thermal quantum Hall effect. Additional short-range on-site disorder completely replenishes the indentation in the density of states at the Dirac point.
