We study the conductance of disordered quantum wires with unitary symmetry focusing on the case where m excess one-way conducting channels are present. The excess channels make the channel number in one direction by m greater than that in the opposite direction, resulting in the stabilization of m perfectly conducting channels. The case of m = 1 can be realized in zigzag nanographene ribbons. Due to the presence of perfectly conducting channels, the dimensionless conductance g behaves as g → m with increasing system length, indicating the absence of the Anderson localization. To describe the anomalous behavior, we generalize the unitary class to allow m excess one-way channels and derive the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for transmission eigenvalues. It is shown that the conductance decay length is reduced with increasing m. We present an extended classification table for the standard three classes.
