Analytical Localization Lengths in an One-Dimensional Disordered Electron System
نویسنده
چکیده
Analytical approximations of the Lyapunov exponent are derived for a random displacement model with equal potential barriers and random positions of the scatterers. Two asymptotic regions are considered corresponding to high and low reflectivity of the single scattering potential. The analytical results are in terms of a distribution functionW for certain phases of the transfer matrices. A functional equation forW is derived and numerically solved. This serves to validate the analytical asymptotic formulas which turn out to be accurate in the high and low reflectivity regions with dimensionless wave number K < 2 and K > 6, respectively. The high wave number asymptotics allows for an analytical examination of the sufficient conditions for Anderson localization.

In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملMagnetic scattering effects on magnetoresistance in a quasi-two-dimensional disordered electron system
Magnetic-impurity-scattering effects in a quasi-2D disordered electron system have been investigated theoretically with the diagrammatic techniques in perturbation theory. The analytical expressions for magnetoconductivities due to weak-localization effects have been obtained as functions of elastic, inelastic and magnetic scattering times. The relevant dimensional crossover behavior from 3D to...

In this paper, the electron localization length was calculated numerically in a one-dimensional chain of atoms with random binary alloy. It is shown that in a one-dimensional finite-size chian of atoms, the localization length of the electron wave function decreases with increasing impurity concentration and with more increasing of the impurity concentration, the localization length becomes s...

– We investigate Anderson localization in a quasi–one-dimensional disordered system consisting of weakly coupled statistically independent channels. The dependence of the localization length on the coupling κ is shown to be singular: proportional to 1/| lnκ|. Numerical evidence is given for coupled random chains with different statistics of site potential. An analytical approach is developed ba...
متن کاملTransport length scales in disordered graphene-based materials: strong localization regimes and dimensionality effects.
We report on a numerical study of quantum transport in disordered two dimensional graphene and graphene nanoribbons. By using the Kubo and the Landauer approaches, transport length scales in the diffusive (mean free path and charge mobilities) and localized regimes (localization lengths) are computed, assuming a short range disorder (Anderson-type). The electronic systems are found to undergo a...
