In the previous paper, we studied the random-mass Dirac fermion in one dimension by using the transfer-matrix methods and by introducing an imaginary vector potential in order to calculate the localization lengths. Especially we considered effects of the nonlocal but short-range correlations of the random mass. In this paper, we shall study effects of the long-range correlations of the random mass especially on the delocalization transition. The results depend on how randomness is introduced in the Dirac mass.

In the previous paper, we studied the random-mass Dirac fermion in one dimension by using the transfer-matrix methods. We furthermore employed the imaginary vector potential methods for calculating the localization lengths. Especially we investigated effects of the nonlocal but short-range correlations of the random mass. In this paper, we shall study effects of the long-range correlations of the random mass especially on the delocalization transition and singular behaviours at the band center. We calculate localization lengths and density of states for various nonlocally correlated random mass. We show that there occurs a phase transition as the correlation length of the random Dirac mass is varied. The Thouless formula, which relates the density of states and the localization lengths, plays an important role in our investigation.
S=1/2 quantum spin chains and ladders with random exchange coupling are studied by using an effective low-energy field theory and transfer matrix methods. Effects of the nonlocal correlations of exchange couplings are investigated numerically. In particular we calculate localization length of magnons, density of states, correlation functions and multifractal exponents as a function of the correlation length of the exchange couplings. As the correlation length increases, there occurs a phase transition and the above quantities exhibit different behaviors in two phases. This suggests that the strong-randomness fixed point of the random spin chains and random-singlet state get unstable by the long-range correlations of the random exchange couplings.
We study the nature of collective excitations in harmonic chains with masses exhibiting long-range correlated disorder with power spectrum proportional to $1/k^{alpha}$, where $k$ is the wave-vector of the modulations on the random masses landscape. Using a transfer matrix method and exact diagonalization, we compute the localization length and participation ratio of eigenmodes within the band of allowed energies. We find extended vibrational modes in the low-energy region for $alpha > 1$. In order to study the time evolution of an initially localized energy input, we calculate the second moment $M_2(t)$ of the energy spatial distribution. We show that $M_2(t)$, besides being dependent of the specific initial excitation and exhibiting an anomalous diffusion for weakly correlated disorder, assumes a ballistic spread in the regime $alpha>1$ due to the presence of extended vibrational modes.
While there are well established methods to study delocalization transitions of single particles in random systems, it remains a challenging problem how to characterize many body delocalization transitions. Here, we use a generalized real-space renormalization group technique to study the anisotropic Heisenberg model with long-range interactions, decaying with a power $alpha$, which are generated by placing spins at random positions along the chain. This method permits a large-scale finite-size scaling analysis. We examine the full distribution function of the excitation energy gap from the ground state and observe a crossover with decreasing $alpha$. At $alpha_c$ the full distribution coincides with a critical function. Thereby, we find strong evidence for the existence of a many body localization transition in disordered antiferromagnetic spin chains with long range interactions.
We study the time evolution of quenched random-mass Dirac fermions in one dimension by quantum lattice Boltzmann simulations. For nonzero noise strength, the diffusion of an initial wave packet stops after a finite time interval, reminiscent of Anderson localization. However, instead of exponential localization we find algebraically decaying tails in the disorder-averaged density distribution. These qualitatively match $propto x^{-3/2}$ decay, which has been predicted by analytic calculations based on zero-energy solutions of the Dirac equation.
