Anomalous properties of the Kronig-Penney model with compositional and structural disorder

arXiv:0801.2208 · doi:10.1016/j.physe.2008.05.001

Abstract

We study the localization properties of the eigenstates in the Kronig-Penney model with weak compositional and structural disorder. The main result is an expression for the localization length that is valid for any kind of self- and inter-correlations of the two types of disorder. We show that the interplay between compositional and structural disorder can result in anomalous localization.
