Numerical study of localization of Dirac fermions on a lattice in two dimensions
Abstract
We studied the effects of impurities on Dirac fermions numerically. We used a tight-binding Hamiltonian of fermions with the magentic flux equal to [pi] per plaquette for the model. A small amount of strong impurities create states near the zero energy and strong localization of these states is observed. Our results support a recent proposal of localization effects in a gapless [ital d]-wave superconductor.
