Disorder-induced conducting edges on Kagomé lattice
Using a cluster extension of the coherent potential approximation, this study demonstrates that disorder-induced multiple-scattering effects on a Kagome lattice generate non-local self-energies that renormalize hopping terms to create emergent effective spin-orbit interactions, driving the system through a gapless phase with conducting edge modes between two topologically trivial insulating states.
