Random electrostatic potentials from charged 1D lattices are correlated Gaussian processes. These potentials comply with the central limit theorem, enabling explicit correlation expressions for physical scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical physics
  • Condensed matter physics
  • Electromagnetism

Background:

  • Random electrostatic potentials are fundamental in various physical systems.
  • Understanding their statistical properties is crucial for modeling complex phenomena.
  • Previous studies often simplified potential correlations, limiting applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the statistical properties of random electrostatic potentials generated by 1D lattices with random charges.
  • To establish the theoretical framework for these potentials using the central limit theorem.
  • To derive explicit expressions for potential correlations and explore their physical implications.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of statistical properties of random electrostatic potentials.
