Interacting lattice electrons with disorder in two dimensions: Numerical evidence for a metal-insulator transition with a universal critical conductivity

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The dc-conductivity of electrons on a square lattice interacting with a local repulsion in the presence of disorder is computed by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We provide evidence for the existence of a transition from an Anderson insulator to a correlated disordered metal with a universal value of the critical dc-conductivity σ_{dc,crit} = (1.18 \pm 0.06) e^{2}/h at the transition.
