Abstract

Connecting perfect one-dimensional leads to sites i and j on the quantum percolation (QP) model, we calculate the transmission coefficient Tij(E) at an energy E near the band center and the averages of ΣijTij, Σijr2ijTij, and Σijr4ijTij to tenth order in the concentration p. In three dimensions, all three series diverge at pq=0.36+0.01−0.02, with exponents γ=0.82+0.10−0.15, γ+2ν, and γ+4ν. We find ν=0.38±0.07, differing from “usual” Anderson localization and violating the bound ν≥2/d of Chayes et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 2999 (1986)]. Thus, QP belongs to a new universality class.
