Outline of Final Research Achievements

At the phase transition of topological insulators in three dimensions, the band gap closes and Dirac/Weyl semimetal phases are realized. These topological semimetals are robust against randomness, but eventually undergo diffusive metal transition. The critical behavior of this semimetal-diffusive metal transition is described by the density of state scaling.
In this study, we have demonstrated that the scaling of the density of states is valid in many situations. In addition, scaling behaviors of conductance/group velocity is discussed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

トポロジカル物質は近年非常に多くの興味を集めている。一方,トポロジカル数は並進対称性が存在するクリーンな系で定義されており,ランダムな系での振る舞いは自明ではない。本研究ではランダムネスが存在する場合にも適用可能な状態密度のスケーリングなどを用いて,トポロジカルな系の相転移を統一的に記述した。
