Abstract: The quantum mechanical transmittance is calculated as a function of energy for electrons impinging on a sample from one lead and leaving the sample through another. The sample consists of a square, two-dimensional disordered layer with the leads attached at opposite corners. The transmittance is calculated to very high accuracy and displays a sharp decrease of many tens of orders of magnitude at an energy near but well within the band edge. This is consistent with the existence of a new zero-temperature phase transition.
