摘要
We calculate the localization length in a two-channel tight-binding model for correlated disordered site potential. Both intra- and interchannel correlations are taken into account. The localization length is obtained in quadratic approximation by expanding the two-channel conductance over weak disorder. The result is applied to a simple two-stranded model of DNA molecule and it is shown that a strong pair coupling between the basic nucleotides in the strands is not sufficient to delocalize electronic states.
