摘要
Wave function of a localized state created by a short-range impurity in two dimensions falls off with distance, ��, from the impurity as 1 ��1/2 exp(- �� ��),where ��isthelocalizationradius.Withrandomlypositionedidentical impurities with low concentration, �� MUCH LESS-THAN ��-2, the level smears into a band due to the overlap of the impurity wave functions. This is the essence of the Lifshitz model. We demonstrate that, upon incorporation of the spin-orbit coupling, the impurity wave functions acquire oscillating factors which, subsequently, modify their overlap. As a result of such modification, the density of states develops singularities at certain energies.
