Abstract
The electron density of stales of coupled bond-disordered Peierls chai ns is approximately calculated in two and three dimensions, regarding nearest-neighbour chains to be independently disordered. Both the bond disorder due to lattice fluctuations and the chain coupling contribut e to the tail states within the one-dimensional gap. The results are d iscussed for trans-polyacetylene.
