Conductance distribution in the magnetic field

Using a modification of the Shapiro scaling approach, we derive the distribution of conductance in the magnetic field applicable in the vicinity of the Anderson transition. This distribution is described by the same equations as in the absence of a field. Variation of the magnetic field does not lead to any qualitative effects in the conductance distribution and only changes its quantitative characteristics, moving a position of the system in the three-parameter space. In contrast to the original Shapiro approach, the evolution equation for quasi-1D systems is established from the generalised DMPK equation, and not by a simple analogy with one-dimensional systems; as a result, the whole approach became more rigorous and accurate.
