Anomalous transport in low-dimensional systems with correlated disorder

Abstract

We review recent results on the anomalous transport in one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional systems with bulk and surface disorder. Main attention is paid to the role of long-range correlations in random potentials for the bulk scattering, and in corrugated profiles for the surface scattering. It is shown that with a proper choice of correlations one can construct such a disorder that results in a selective transport with given properties. A particular interest is in the possibility to arrange windows of a complete transparency (or reflection) in the dependence on the wave number of incoming classical waves or electrons.
