Abstract

We study numerically the localization properties of the eigenstates of a tight-binding Hamiltonian model for noninteracting electrons moving in a one-dimensional disordered ring pierced by an Aharonov-Bohm flux. By analyzing the dependence of the inverse participation ratio on Aharonov-Bohm flux, energy, disorder strength and system size, we find that all states in the ring are delocalized in the weak disorder limit. The states lying deeply in the band tails will undergo a continuous delocalization-localization transition as the disorder strength in the ring sweeps from the weak to the strong disorder regime.
