In the absence of disorder, the degeneracy of a Landau level (LL) is $N=BA/phi_0$, where $B$ is the magnetic field, $A$ is the area of the sample and $phi_0=h/e$ is the magnetic flux quantum. With disorder, localized states appear at the top and bottom of the broadened LL, while states in the center of the LL (the critical region) remain delocalized. This well-known phenomenology is sufficient to explain most aspects of the Integer Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE) [1]. One unnoticed issue is where the new states appear as the magnetic field is increased. Here we demonstrate that they appear predominantly inside the critical region. This leads to a certain ``spectral ordering of the localized states that explains the stripes observed in measurements of the local inverse compressibility [2-3], of two-terminal conductance [4], and of Hall and longitudinal resistances [5] without invoking interactions as done in previous work [6-8].

Non-diagonal (bond) disorder in graphene broadens Landau levels (LLs) in the same way as random potential. The exception is the zeroth LL, $n=0$, which is robust to the bond disorder, since it does not mix different $n=0$ states within a given valley
. The mechanism of broadening of the $n=0$ LL is the inter-valley scattering. Several numerical simulations of graphene with bond disorder had established that $n=0$ LL is not only anomalously narrow but also that its shape is very peculiar with three maxima, one at zero energy, $E=0$, and two others at finite energies $pm E$. We study theoretically the structure of the states in $n=0$ LL in the presence of bond disorder. Adopting the assumption that the bond disorder is strongly anisotropic, namely, that one type of bonds is perturbed much stronger than other two, allowed us to get an analytic expression for the density of states which agrees with numerical simulations remarkably well. On the qualitative level, our key finding is that delocalization of $E=0$ state has a dramatic back effect on the density of states near $E=0$. The origin of this unusual behavior is the strong correlation of eigenstates in different valleys.
Density of states (DOS) of graphene under a high uniform magnetic field and white-noise random potential is numerically calculated. The disorder broadened zero-energy Landau band has a Gaussian shape whose width is proportional to the random potentia
l variance and the square root of magnetic field. Wegner-type calculation is used to justify the results.
We consider a fermionic many body system in Zd with a short range interaction and quasi-periodic disorder. In the strong disorder regime and assuming a Diophantine condition on the frequencies and on the chemical potential, we prove at $T=0$ the expo
nential decay of the correlations and the vanishing of the Drude weight, signaling Anderson localization in the ground state. The proof combines Ward Identities, Renormalization Group and KAM Lindstedt series methods.
We report on magneto-transport measurements on low-density, large-area monolayer epitaxial graphene devices grown on SiC. We show that the zero-energy Landau level (LL) in monolayer graphene, which is predicted to be magnetic field ($B$)-independent,
can float up above the Fermi energy at low $B$. This is supported by the temperature ($T$)-driven flow diagram approximated by the semi-circle law as well as the $T$-independent point in the Hall conductivity $sigma_{xy}$ near $e^2/h$. Our experimental data are in sharp contrast to conventional understanding of the zeroth LL and metallic-like behavior in pristine graphene prepared by mechanical exfoliation at low $T$. This surprising result can be ascribed to substrate-induced sublattice symmetry breaking which splits the degeneracy of the zeroth Landau level. Our finding provides a unified picture regarding the metallic behavior in pristine graphene prepared by mechanical exfoliation, and the insulating behavior and the insulator-quantum Hall transition in monolayer epitaxial graphene.
We investigate the spectral function of Bloch states in an one-dimensional tight-binding non-interacting chain with two different models of static correlated disorder, at zero temperature. We report numerical calculations of the single-particle spect
ral function based on the Kernel Polynomial Method, which has an $mathcal{O}(N)$ computational complexity. These results are then confirmed by analytical calculations, where precise conditions were obtained for the appearance of a classical limit in a single-band lattice system. Spatial correlations in the disordered potential give rise to non-perturbative spectral functions shaped as the probability distribution of the random on-site energies, even at low disorder strengths. In the case of disordered potentials with an algebraic power-spectrum, $proptoleft|kright|^{-alpha}$, we show that the spectral function is not self-averaging for $alphageq1$.
