摘要
We develop a numerical technique to study Anderson localization in interacting electronic systems. The ground state of the disordered system is calculated with quantum Monte Carlo simulations while the localization properties are extracted from the "Thouless conductance" g, i.e., the curvature of the energy with respect to an Aharonov-Bohm flux. We apply our method to polarized electrons in a two-dimensional system of size L. We recover the well-known universal beta(g)=dlogg/dlogL one parameter scaling function without interaction. Upon switching on the interaction, we find that beta(g) is unchanged while the system flows toward the insulating limit. We conclude that polarized electrons in two dimensions stay in an insulating state in the presence of weak to moderate electron-electron correlations.
