  1. Quantum Spin Hall Effect- A New State of Matter ? - Aug. 1, 2006 @Banff Naoto Nagaosa Dept. Applied Phys. Univ. Tokyo Collaborators: M. Onoda (AIST), Y. Avishai (Ben-Grion)

  2. magnetic field B Voltage Hall effect

  3. (Integer) Quantum Hall Effect Quantized Hall conductance in the unit of Plateau as a function of magnetic field

  4. (Integer) Quantum Hall Effect pure case Quantized Hall conductance in the unit of Plateau as a function of magnetic field Disorder effect and localization

  5. (Integer) Quantum Hall Effect pure case Localized states do not contribute to Extended states survive only at discrete energies

  6. Anderson Localization of electronic wavefunctions x Extended Bloch wave x x impurity Localized state quantum interference between scattered waves. Thouless number = Dimensionless conductance Periodic boundary condition Anti-periodic boundary condition

  7. Scaling Theory of Anderson Localization The change of the Thouless number Is determined only by the Thouless number Itself. In 3D there is a metal-insulator transition In 1D and 2D all the states are localized for any finite disorder !!

  8. Universality classes of Anderson Localization Symplectic class with Spin-orbit interaction Orthogonal: Time-reversal symmetric system without the spin-orbit interaction Symplectic: Time-reversal symmetric system with the spin-orbit interaction Unitary: Time-reversal symmetry broken Under magnetic field or ferromagnets Chern number  extended states Universality of critical phenomena Spatial dimension, Symmetry, etc. determine the critical exponents.

  9. Chern number wave function
