摘要
A Kronig-Penney model with short-range correlated impurities is used to investigate the electronic transport properties of one-dimensional disordered systems simulating both superlattices, protein chains, and polymers. Physical magnitudes characterizing the electronic charge transfer are analytically the transmission coefficient and the localization length. It is shown that a set of delocalized states occurs at particular well-defined energies. The divergence of the localization length is investigated and a critical exponent 1 is found for the barrier case which differs with the results of literature. These results support the idea that the nature of the extended states depend on the typical nature of the correlation in disorder. On this basis, the conductance of disordered superlattices is investigated as well as the relative fluctuations of the transmission coefficient.
