Conductance distribution of disordered quasi one-dimensional wires

Abstract

We determine analytically the distribution of conductances of quasi one-dimensional disordered electron systems, neglecting electron-electron interaction, for all strengths of disorder. We find that in the crossover region between the metallic and insulating regimes, P(g) is highly asymmetric, given by ``one-sided'' log-normal distribution. For larger disorder, the tail of the log-normal distribution is cut-off for g > 1 by a Gaussian.
