Abstract
The localization lengths lambda of one-dimensional disordered systems are studied for electronic wave functions in the Anderson model and for vibrational states. In the first case, the site energies epsilon and in the second case, the fluctuations of the vibrating masses m at distance l from each other are long-range correlated and described by a correlation function C(l)similar tol(-gamma) with 0(-1/(4-gamma))similar tolambda(E=2,), x=lambda(0)(2)(2-E), and the scaling function f(gamma)(x)=const for x<<1 and f(gamma)(x)similar tox((3-gamma)/2) for x>>1. Mapping the Anderson model onto the vibrational problem, we derive the vibrational localization lengths for small eigenfrequencies omega, lambdasimilar to((3-gamma)/2)(-1)omega(-(1+gamma)), where is the mean mass and the variance of the masses. This implies that, unexpectedly, at small omega, lambda is larger for uncorrelated than for correlated chains.
