Localization for one-dimensional random potentials with large local fluctuations

Publication date 16 December 2008

Abstract: We study the localization of wave functions for one-dimensional Schr"odinger Hamiltonians with random potentials

V (x)

with short range correlations and large local fluctuations such that

i n t D x s m e a n V (x) V (0) = i n f t y

. A random supersymmetric Hamiltonian is also considered. Depending on how large the fluctuations of

V (x)

are, we find either new energy dependences of the localization length,

e l l_{m} a t h r m l o c p r o p t o E / l n E

,

e l l_{m} a t h r m l o c p r o p t o E^{m u / 2}

with

0 < m u < 2

or

e l l_{m} a t h r m l o c p r o p t o l n^{m u - 1} E

for

m u > 1

, or superlocalization (decay of the wave functions faster than a simple exponential).
