Distribution of local density of states in disordered metallic samples: logarithmically normal asymptotics

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Asymptotical behavior of the distribution function of local density of states (LDOS) in disordered metallic samples is studied with making use of the supersymmetric σ\sigma--model approach, in combination with the saddle--point method. The LDOS distribution is found to have the logarithmically normal asymptotics for quasi--1D and 2D sample geometry. In the case of a quasi--1D sample, the result is confirmed by the exact solution. In 2D case a perfect agreement with an earlier renormalization group calculation is found. In 3D the found asymptotics is of somewhat different type: P(ρ)exp(\mboxconstln3ρ)P(\rho)\sim \exp(-\mbox{const}\,|\ln^3\rho|).
