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.

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 critical dynamics of hyper-cubic finite size system in the presence of quenched short-range correlated disorder. By using the random $T_c$ model A for the critical dynamics and the renormalization group method in the vicinity of the uppe r critical dimension $d=4$, we derive in first order of $epsilon$ the expression for the relaxation time. Its finite-size scaling behavior is discussed both analytically and numerically in details. This was made possible by analyzing carefully the finite--size effects on the Onsager kinetic coefficient. The obtained results are compared to those reported in the literature.
Recent high-precision results for the critical exponent of the localization length at the integer quantum Hall (IQH) transition differ considerably between experimental ($ u_text{exp} approx 2.38$) and numerical ($ u_text{CC} approx 2.6$) values obta ined in simulations of the Chalker-Coddington (CC) network model. We revisit the arguments leading to the CC model and consider a more general network with geometric (structural) disorder. Numerical simulations of this new model lead to the value $ u approx 2.37$ in very close agreement with experiments. We argue that in a continuum limit the geometrically disordered model maps to the free Dirac fermion coupled to various random potentials (similar to the CC model) but also to quenched two-dimensional quantum gravity. This explains the possible reason for the considerable difference between critical exponents for the CC model and the geometrically disordered model and may shed more light on the analytical theory of the IQH transition. We extend our results to network models in other symmetry classes.
Entanglement is a physical resource of a quantum system just like mass, charge or energy. Moreover it is an essential tool for many purposes of nowadays quantum information processing, e.g. quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography or quantum compu tation. In this work we investigate an extended system of N qubits. In our system a qubit is the absence or presence of an electron at a site of a tight-binding system. Several measures of entanglement between a given qubit and the rest of the system and also the entanglement between two qubits and the rest of the system is calculated in a one-electron picture in the presence of disorder. We invoke the power law band random matrix model which even in one dimension is able to produce multifractal states that fluctuate at all length scales. The concurrence, the tangle and the entanglement entropy all show interesting scaling properties.
The Anderson delocalization-localization transition is studied in multilayered systems with randomly placed interlayer bonds of density $p$ and strength $t$. In the absence of diagonal disorder (W=0), following an appropriate perturbation expansion, we estimate the mean free paths in the main directions and verify by scaling of the conductance that the states remain extended for any finite $p$, despite the interlayer disorder. In the presence of additional diagonal disorder ($W > 0$) we obtain an Anderson transition with critical disorder $W_c$ and localization length exponent $ u$ independently of the direction. The critical conductance distribution $P_{c}(g)$ varies, however, for the parallel and the perpendicular directions. The results are discussed in connection to disordered anisotropic materials.
