For the Heisenberg model new types of infinite disorder and strong disorder fixed points are found. For the tight-binding model we add an orbital magnetic field and use both diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. For this model besides the gap spectra we study also the fraction of frozen sites, the correlation function, the persistent current and the two-terminal current. The lattices with an even number of sites around each elementary plaquette show a dominant $\\phi_0=h/e$ periodicity. The lattices with an odd number of sites around each elementary plaquette show a dominant $\\phi_0/2$ periodicity at vanishing diagonal disorder, with a positive weak localization-like magnetoconductance at infinite disorder fixed points. The magnetoconductance with both diagonal and off-diagonal disorder depends on the symmetry of the distribution of on-site energies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-03-11T10:05:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strong disorder renormalization group", "tight binding models", "fractal lattices", "heisenberg model", "magnetoresistive effects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
