Abstract
We consider an electron in a 1D random adiabatically changing potentia l. We demonstrate that the positions of the maxima of an electron eige nstate probability density do not move even when the change of the pot ential is significant. We show that at the same time the main maximum hops by a distance of the order of the size of the system. We present arguments that such hopping of electron localization position happens also in two and three dimensions.
