A Monte Carlo approach to determine conductance distributions in quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed analysis of the statistical distribution of conductance P(g) of quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in the metal–insulator crossover is presented. The distribution P(g) is obtained from a Monte Carlo solution of the Dorokhov, Mello, Pereyra and Kumar (DMPK) scaling equation, showing full agreement with ‘tight-binding’ numerical calculations of bulk disordered wires. Perturbation theory is shown to be valid even for mean dimensionless conductance values !gO of the order of 1. In the crossover from diffusive to localized regimes (!gO!1), P(g) presents a characteristic shape different from that observed in surface disordered wires. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Conductance distributions in quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires.
A detailed analysis of the distribution of conductances P(g) of quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in the metal-insulator crossover is presented. P(g) obtained from a Monte Carlo solution of the Dorokhov, Mello, Pereyra, and Kumar (DMPK) scaling equation is in full agreement with "tight-binding" numerical calculations of bulk disordered wires. Perturbation theory is shown to be valid even f...
متن کاملConductance distribution of disordered quasi one-dimensional wires
We determine analytically the distribution of conductances of quasi onedimensional disordered electron systems, neglecting electron-electron interaction, for all strengths of disorder. We find that in the crossover region between the metallic and insulating regimes, P (g) is highly asymmetric, given by “one-sided” log-normal distribution. For larger disorder, the tail of the log-normal distribu...
متن کاملZigzag phase transition in quantum wires.
We study the quantum phase transition of interacting electrons in quantum wires from a one-dimensional (1D) linear configuration to a quasi-1D zigzag arrangement using quantum Monte Carlo methods. As the density increases from its lowest values, first, the electrons form a linear Wigner crystal, then, the symmetry about the axis of the wire is broken as the electrons order in a quasi-1D zigzag ...
متن کاملCrossover from Fermi liquid to multichannel Luttinger liquid in high-mobility quantum wires.
We investigate the electrical conductance of long, high-mobility quantum wires formed by the split-gate technique, which allows for adjustment of the wire width and the number of one-dimensional electron subbands, n. In wires with 3<or=n<or=8, a logarithmic temperature dependence of the conductance is observed for 1<T<10 K, which reaches as much as 30% of the Drude conductance. In even narrower...
متن کاملA new permutation choice in Halton sequences
This paper has several folds. We make first new permutation choices in Halton sequences to improve their distributions. These choices are multi-dimensional and they are made for two different discrepancies. We show that multi-dimensional choices are better for standard quasi-Monte Carlo methods. We also use these sequences as a variance reduction technique in Monte Carlo methods, which greatly ...
