研究実績の概要 |
In semiconductors there is a transition from an insulating to a metallic state as the doping concentration is increased. This is thought to be a type of Anderson transition. We are using computer simulations to understand this transition better. The beta-function plays a central role in the theory of the Anderson transition. We published Borel-Pade re-summations of the beta-functions in the three Wigner-Dyson symmetry classes. (with Y. Ueoka) We adapted the transfer matrix method used extensively in Anderson localisation so that it can run efficiently on massively parallel supercomputers. (with T. Ohtsuki.) We continued to investigate ways of using machine learning to analyse wave functions produced in the simulation of the doped semiconductor. (with Y. Harashima, T. Mano, T. Ohtsuki)

理由
While difficulties have been encountered in the analysis of the wave functions produced in the simulations, we continue to investigate new ways of analysing these using machine learning techniques.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
We will continue to investigate different ways of analysing the wavefunction data from the simulation of the doped semiconductor. Recently, based on studies in lattice models, it has been suggested that the critical exponent for the quantum Hall effect in the Chalker-Coddington model may be anomalous and not universal. This calls into question the attribution of the disagreement between the experimentally measured exponent and the value for the Chalker-Coddington model to the effect of the Coulomb interaction. We feel that the precision of current reported studies is however not sufficient to reach a definitive conclusion and we are actively considering more precise studies.
