Generalized Lyapunov exponent and transmission statistics in one-dimensional Gaussian correlated potentials

Abstract:
The distribution of the transmission coefficient T of a long system with a correlated Gaussian disorder is studied analytically and numerically in terms of the generalized Lyapunov exponent (LE) and the cumulants of ln T. The effect of the disorder correlations on these quantities is considered in weak, moderate, and strong disorder for different models of correlation. Scaling relations between the cumulants of ln T are obtained. The cumulants are treated analytically within the semiclassical approximation in strong disorder and numerically for an arbitrary strength of the disorder. A small correlation scale approximation is developed for calculation of the generalized LE in a general correlated disorder. An essential effect of the disorder correlations on the transmission statistics is found. In particular, obtained relations between the cumulants and between them and the generalized LE show that, beyond weak disorder, transmission fluctuations and deviation of their distribution from the log-normal form (in a long but finite system) are greatly enhanced due to the disorder correlations. Parametric dependence of these effects upon the correlation scale is presented.
