contents Many-body localization (MBL) is an intriguing physical phenomenon that arises from the interplay of interaction and disorder, allowing quantum systems to prevent thermalization. In this study, we investigate the MBL properties of the fully frustrated Heisenberg spin-1/2 ladder model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping interaction along the leg direction and compare it with the Heisenberg spin-1/2 single-chain model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping interaction. We explore the MBL transition using random matrix theory and study the characteristics of entanglement entropy and its variance. Our results show that for the single-chain model, the critical point $w _{1} \sim$ 7.5 $\pm$ 0.5, whereas for the frustrated ladder model, $w _{2} \sim$ 10.5 $\pm$ 0.5. Moreover, we observe the existence of a many-body mobility edge in the frustrated ladder model. We also investigate the dynamical properties of the frustrated ladder model and identify the logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy, high fidelity of initial information, and magnetic localization phenomenon in the localized phase. Finally, we explore the finite-size scaling of the two models. Our findings suggest that interpreting MBL transition as a continuous second-order phase transition yields a better scaling solution than the Kosterlitz-Thouless type transition for our two models, and this difference is more pronounced in the frustrated ladder model compared with the single-chain model.
