Distribution of time-constants for tunneling through a 1D Disordered Chain

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The dynamics of electronic tunneling through a disordered 1D chain of finite length is considered. We calculate distributions of the transmission coefficient T, Wigner delay time and, τϕ\tau_\phi and the transport time, τt=Tτϕ\tau_t=T\tau_\phi. The central bodies of these distributions have a power-law form, what can be understood in terms of the resonant tunneling through localised states.
