In this paper we study random perturbations of first order elliptic operators with periodic potentials. We are mostly interested in Hamiltonians modeling graphene antidot lattices with impurities. The unperturbed operator H 0 := D S + V 0 is the sum of a Dirac-like operator D S plus a potential V 0 , and is assumed to have an open gap. The random potential Vω is of Anderson-type with independent, identically distributed coupling constants and moving centers, with absolutely continuous probability distributions. We prove band edge localization, namely that there exists an interval of energies in the unperturbed gap where the almost sure spectrum of the family Hω := H 0 + Vω is dense pure point, with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions, that give rise to dynamical localization.

The unperturbed operator H 0 := D S + V 0 is the sum of a Dirac-like operator D S plus a periodic matrix-valued potential V 0 , and is assumed to have an open gap. The random potential V ω is of Anderson-type with independent, identically distributed coupling constants and moving centers, with absolutely continuous probability distributions. We prove band edge localization, namely that there exists an interval of energies in the unperturbed gap where the almost sure spectrum of the family H ω := H 0 + V ω is dense pure point, with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions, that give rise to dynamical localization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
