Anderson Localization and Generalized Diffusion

چکیده
1 Introduction Disorder leads to important physical effects which are of quantum mechanical origin. This has been revealed by Anderson [1] in the study of a disordered tight-binding model. The problem has attracted great attention over many decades [2]. Subsequent to the ideas presented in our previous papers [3,4], we discuss here a new analytical approach to calculate the phase-diagram for the Anderson localization [1] in arbitrary spatial dimensions D. The transition from delocalized to localized states is treated as a generalized diffusion which manifests itself in the divergence of diagonal correlators. This divergence is controlled by the Lyapunov exponent γ which is the inverse of the localization length, ξ=1/γ.

Subsequent to the ideas presented in our previous papers [J., we discuss here in detail a new analytical approach to calculating the phase-diagram for the Anderson localization in arbitrary spatial dimensions. The transition from delocalized to localized states is treated as a generalized diffusion which manifests itself in the divergence of averages of wavefunctions (correlators). This diverge...
متن کاملRandom walk approach to the analytic solution of random systems with multiplicative noise - the Anderson localization problem
We discuss here in detail a new analytical random walk approach to calculating the phase-diagram for spatially extended systems with multiplicative noise. We use the Anderson localization problem as an example. The transition from delocalized to localized states is treated as a generalized diffusion with a noise-induced first-order phase transition. The generalized diffusion manifests itself in...
متن کاملThe Fermi-Pasta-Ulam paradox, Anderson Localization problem and the the generalized diffusion approach
The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, based on the interpretation of a quantum tight-binding model in terms of a classical Hamiltonian map, we consider the Anderson localization (AL) problem as the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) effect in a modified dynamical system containing both stable and unstable (inverted) modes. Delocalized states in the AL are analogous to the stable quasi-periodic motion ...
متن کاملAnderson Localization, Non-linearity and Stable Genetic Diversity
In many models of genotypic evolution, the vector of genotype populations satisfies a system of linear ordinary differential equations. This system of equations models a competition between differential replication rates (fitness) and mutation. Mutation operates as a generalized diffusion process on genotype space. In the large time asymptotics, the replication term tends to produce a single do...
متن کاملAnderson localization as position-dependent diffusion in disordered waveguides
We show that the recently developed self-consistent theory of Anderson localization with a positiondependent diffusion coefficient is in quantitative agreement with the supersymmetry approach up to terms of the order of 1 /g0 2 with g0 the dimensionless conductance in the absence of interference effects and with large-scale ab initio simulations of the classical wave transport in disordered wav...
