Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 127001 (2008) [4 pages]Universal Critical Exponent in Class D SuperconductorsReceived 17 June 2008; published 16 September 2008 We study a physical system consisting of noninteracting quasiparticles in disordered superconductors that have neither time-reversal nor spin-rotation invariance. This system belongs to class D within the recent classification scheme of random matrix ensembles, and its phase diagram contains three different phases: metallic and two distinct localized phases with different quantized thermal Hall conductances. We find that critical exponents describing different transitions (insulator-to-insulator and insulator-to-metal) are identical within the error of numerical calculations and also find that critical disorder of the insulator-to-metal transition is energy-independent. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
