Abstract
A Kronig-Penney model with a constant electric field is used to examin e the transmission properties of electrons in one-dimensional disorder ed systems. Disorder is introduced into the system by assuming that th e strengths of the delta-function potential are random variables unifo rmly distributed. In particular the cases where the strength varies fr om O to W (barriers) and from - W to O (wells) are considered. Extensi ve results are presented and compared to other theories.
