The density of states (DoS), $varrho(E)$, of graphene is investigated numerically and within the self-consistent T-matrix approximation (SCTMA) in the presence of vacancies within the tight binding model. The focus is on compensated disorder, where the concentration of vacancies, $n_text{A}$ and $n_text{B}$, in both sub-lattices is the same. Formally, this model belongs to the chiral symmetry class BDI. The prediction of the non-linear sigma-model for this class is a Gade-type singularity $varrho(E) sim |E|^{-1}exp(-|log(E)|^{-1/x})$. Our numerical data is compatible with this result in a preasymptotic regime that gives way, however, at even lower energies to $varrho(E)sim E^{-1}|log(E)|^{-mathfrak{x}}$, $1leq mathfrak{x} < 2$. We take this finding as an evidence that similar to the case of dirty d-wave superconductors, also generic bipartite random hopping models may exhibit unconventional (strong-coupling) fixed points for certain kinds of randomly placed scatterers if these are strong enough. Our research suggests that graphene with (effective) vacancy disorder is a physical representative of such systems.

We study two lattice models, the honeycomb lattice (HCL) and a special square lattice (SQL), both reducing to the Dirac equation in the continuum limit. In the presence of disorder (gaussian potential disorder and random vector potential), we investi
gate the behaviour of the density of states (DOS) numerically and analytically. While an upper bound can be derived for the DOS on the SQL at the Dirac point, which is also confirmed by numerical calculations, no such upper limit exists for the HCL in the presence of random vector potential. A careful investigation of the lowest eigenvalues indeed indicate, that the DOS can possibly be divergent at the Dirac point on the HCL. In spite of sharing a common continuum limit, these lattice models exhibit different behaviour.
Nodal semimetals (e.g. Dirac, Weyl and nodal-line semimetals, graphene, etc.) and systems of pinned particles with power-law interactions (trapped ultracold ions, nitrogen defects in diamonds, spins in solids, etc.) are presently at the centre of att
ention of large communities of researchers working in condensed-matter and atomic, molecular and optical physics. Although seemingly unrelated, both classes of systems are abundant with novel fundamental thermodynamic and transport phenomena. In this paper, we demonstrate that low-energy field theories of quasiparticles in semimetals may be mapped exactly onto those of pinned particles with excitations which exhibit power-law hopping. The duality between the two classes of systems, which we establish, allows one to describe the transport and thermodynamics of each class of systems using the results established for the other class. In particular, using the duality mapping, we establish the existence of a novel class of disorder-driven transitions in systems with the power-law hopping $propto1/r^gamma$ of excitations with $d/2<gamma<d$, different from the conventional Anderson-localisation transition. Non-Anderson disorder-driven transitions have been studied broadly for nodal semimetals, but have been unknown, to our knowledge, for systems with long-range hopping (interactions) with $gamma<d$.
We consider a class of rotationally invariant unitary random matrix ensembles where the eigenvalue density falls off as an inverse power law. Under a new scaling appropriate for such power law densities (different from the scaling required in Gaussia
n random matrix ensembles), we calculate exactly the two-level kernel that determines all eigenvalue correlations. We show that such ensembles belong to the class of critical ensembles.
Self-affine morphology of random interfaces governs their functionalities across tribological, geological, (opto-)electrical and biological applications. However, the knowledge of how energy carriers or generally classical/quantum waves interact with
structural irregularity is still incomplete. In this work, we study vibrational energy transport through random interfaces exhibiting different correlation functions on the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. We show that random interfaces at the atomic scale are Cantor composites populated on geometrical fractals, thus multifractals, and calculate their quantized conductance using atomistic approaches. We obtain a universal scaling law, which contains self-similarity for mass perturbation, and exponential scaling of structural irregularity quantified by fractal dimension. The multifractal nature and Cantor-composite picture may also be extendable to charge and photon transport across random interfaces.
Statistical properties of critical wave functions at the spin quantum Hall transition are studied both numerically and analytically (via mapping onto the classical percolation). It is shown that the index $eta$ characterizing the decay of wave functi
on correlations is equal to 1/4, at variance with the $r^{-1/2}$ decay of the diffusion propagator. The multifractality spectra of eigenfunctions and of two-point conductances are found to be close-to-parabolic, $Delta_qsimeq q(1-q)/8$ and $X_qsimeq q(3-q)/4$.
