  Abstract:
We investigate localization of noninteracting particles with spins higher than [1/2] in a two-dimensional random potential with spin-orbit coupling. We consider an integer spin (s=1) and a half-integer spin (s=[3/2]) belonging to orthogonal and symplectic symmetry classes respectively. We show that particles with integer spin are localized and those with half-integer spin exhibit Anderson Transition. The transition belongs to universality class of conventional symplectic model with spin-[1/2] particles.
