The impurities are assumed to be randomly distributed on small fractions of the sites, and have a-strong potential yielding a unitary-limit scattering. In addition to the usual diffusive modes in the retarded-advanced channel, there appear diffusive pi modes in the retarded-retarded (or advanced-advanced) channel due to the existence of particle-hole symmetry. It is found that the pi-mode diffuson gives rise to a logarithmic suppression to the DOS near the band center, which prevails over the positive correction contributed by pi-mode cooperon. As a result, the DOS is subject to a negative total correction. This result is qualitatively different from the divergent behavior of the DOS at the band center predicted previously for disordered 2D two-sublattice models with the particle-hole symmetry.展开更多
