摘要
We present the first numerical studies of the disorder effect on the recently proposed intrinsic spin-Hall conductance in a three dimensional lattice Luttinger model. The results show that the spin-Hall conductance remains finite in a wide range of disorder strength, with large fluctuations. The disorder-configuration-averaged spin-Hall conductance monotonically decreases with the increase of disorder strength and vanishes before the Anderson localization takes place. The finite-size effect is also discussed.
