Effects of self-consistency in mean-field theories of disordered systems: Superconductor Insulator Transition — •Matthias Stosiek and Ferdinand Evers — Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Regensburg, Germany

Our general interest is in aspects of self-consistency with respect to disorder in the mean-field treatment of disordered interacting systems. The example we here consider is the Superconductor Insulator Transition (SIT), where the superconducting gap is calculated in the presence of short-range disorder. Our focus is on disordered films with conventional s-wave pairing that we study numerically employing the negative-U Hubbard model within the standard Bogoliubov-deGennes approximation. The general question that we would like to address concerns the auto-correlation function of the pairing amplitude: Does it qualitatively change if full self-consistency is accounted for? Our research might have significant impact on the understanding of the SIT, if extra correlations appear due to the self-consistency condition that turn out sufficiently long-ranged. Such correlation effects are ignored in major analytical theories. To study the long-range behavior of the order parameter correlations, the treatment of large system sizes is necessary. Due to the self-consistency requirement, the relevant sizes (e.g. 106 sites) are numerically very expensive to achieve. For this reason, we have developed a parallelized code based on the Kernel Polynomial Method. We present data that indicates the existence of very long ranged (power-law) correlations that may indeed change the critical behavior in a significant way.
