R. Farchioni et G. Grosso, ELECTRONIC TRANSPORT FOR RANDOM DIMER-TRIMER MODEL HAMILTONIANS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 56(3), 1997, pp. 1170-1174
In this paper we study the transport properties of model chains consti
tuted by random sequences of monomers, dimers, and trimers. We investi
gate the transmission properties of the random dimer model (RDM), wher
e one of the two site energies of the lattice is assigned to couple of
adjacent sites, while the other site energy has no constraints on its
probability of occurrence. For comparison, we investigate the transpo
rt properties of other models of correlated disorder which can be cons
idered as ''components'' of the RDM: the random dimer-isolated monomer
, the random dimer-trimer model, and the random dimer alloy model, whi
ch is a binary alloy of dimers. Scaling laws of transmittivity with ch
ain lengths are investigated.
