Abstract
The conductance for a two-dimensional tight-binding model with on-site disorder is calculated numerically with use of the Kubo formula. For weak disorder logarithmic localization is observed, in agreement with the scaling theory. The magnetoresistance is found to be negative in both the logarithmic and exponential localization regimes. Results for a model with random complex hopping matrix elements are also presented.Keywords
