We solve the time-dependent Schroedinger equation to investigate the relationship between the geometrical properties of the wavefunction and the system's spin dependent transport properties. Even in the absence of localized states, interference effects modify the carrier diffusion, as revealed by the appearance of power laws dependent on the impurity concentration. For stronger disorder, we find a localization transition characterized by a fractal wavefunction and enhanced spin transport.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-12T08:55:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electron gas", "magnetic disorder", "systems spin dependent transport properties", "power laws dependent", "time-dependent schroedinger equation" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012cct..conf..123V" } } }
