Transport around criticalities: Localization-delocalization and paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transitions

Pages 859-874 | Published online: 25 Aug 2009
 

Abstract

We study two examples of transport properties of electron systems in the vicinity of a critical point. The first example, a one-body problem, is the disorder-driven metal-insulator transition in the integer quantum Hall system. We have numerically examined the multifractality of the critical wavefunction, which is relevant to an anomalous diffusion of electrons. The second example, a many-body problem, is the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in a strongly correlated clean electron system. We show that the proximity to ferromagnetism can give rise to a negative magnetoresistance. These exemplify how a criticality manifests itself in transport properties.
