We show that a sufficiently fast decay of the hopping term promotes localization effects at finite temperature, which prevents thermalization even if the classical motion is chaotic. For slower decays, we find that thermalization does occur. However, within this model, the latter regime falls in an unexpected universality class, namely, observables exhibit a power-law (as opposed to an exponential) approach to their thermal expectation values.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.85.050102http://journals.aps.org/open access536Metal-insulator-transitionSpectral statisticsWave-functionsParticleCantoriChaosTermodinámica2213 Termodinámica
