Anderson-Mott Transition in a Magnetic Field: Corrections to Scaling

Abstract

It is shown that the Anderson-Mott metal-insulator transition of paramagnetic, interacting disordered electrons in an external magnetic field is in the same universality class as the transition from a ferromagnetic metal to a ferromagnetic insulator discussed recently. As a consequence, large corrections to scaling exist in the magnetic-field universality class, which have been neglected in previous theoretical descriptions. The nature and consequences of these corrections to scaling are discussed.
