We study transport properties of bulk-disordered quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) wires paying main attention to the role of long-range correlations embedded into the disorder. First, we show that for stratified disorder for which the disorder is the same for all individual chains forming the Q1D wire, the transport properties can be analytically described provided the disorder is weak. When the disorder in every chain is not the same, however, has the same binary correlator, the general theory is absent. Thus, we consider the case when only one channel is open and all others are closed. For this situation we suggest a semi-analytical approach which is quite effective for the description of the total transmission coefficient. Our numerical data confirm the validity of our approach. Such Q1D disordered structures with anomalous transport properties can be the subject of an experimental study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
