    Magneto-Transport in the Two-Dimensional Lorentz Gas

    Full text link
    We consider the two-dimensional Lorentz gas with Poisson distributed hard disk scatterers and a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion. The velocity autocorrelation is computed numerically over the full range of densities and magnetic fields with particular attention to the percolation threshold between hopping transport and pure edge currents. The Ohmic and Hall conductance are compared with mode-coupling theory and a recent generalized kinetic equation valid for low densities and small fields. We argue that the long time tail as t2t^{-2} persists for non-zero magnetic field.Comment: 7 pages, 14 figures. Uses RevTeX and epsfig.sty. Submitted to Physical Review
