Griffiths phase in the thermal quantum Hall effect

Two-dimensional disordered superconductors with broken spin-rotation and time-reversal invariance, e.g., with px+ipy pairing, can exhibit plateaus in the thermal Hall coefficient (the thermal quantum Hall effect). Our numerical simulations show that the Hall insulating regions of the phase diagram c...

Description
Summary:Two-dimensional disordered superconductors with broken spin-rotation and time-reversal invariance, e.g., with px+ipy pairing, can exhibit plateaus in the thermal Hall coefficient (the thermal quantum Hall effect). Our numerical simulations show that the Hall insulating regions of the phase diagram can support a sub-phase where the quasiparticle density of states is divergent at zero energy, ρ(E)∼∣E∣∣1∕z−1, with a nonuniversal exponent z>1, due to the effects of rare configurations of disorder (Griffiths phase).
