Two additional parameters, $K_{11}$ and $\\gamma $ were introduced recently which measure the non-homogeneity of the spatial distribution of the electron inside the sample. % [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\\bf 82}, 4272 (1999)]. For the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic two dimensional disordered models, we investigate numerically the system size dependence of these parameters in the diffusive and localized regime. Obtained size and disorder dependence of $K_{11}$ and $\\gamma$ is in agreement with with single parameter transport theory. In the localized regime, $\\gamma\\to 0$ independently on the physical symmetry of the model. In the diffusive regime, $\\gamma$ equals to the symmetry parameter $\\beta$. For the symplectic model we analyze the size dependence of $\\gamma$ in the critical region of the metal-insulator transition and found the non-universal critical value $\\gamma_c$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-07-21T09:18:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.30.+h", "73.23.-b", "72.10.-d" ], "keywords": [ "two-dimensional electron systems", "diffusive regime", "single parameter transport theory", "localized regime", "size dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Sep", "volume": 82, "number": 9, "pages": "094203" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..82i4203M" } } }
