One-Dimensional Kronig-Penney Model with Positional Disorder: Theory versus Experiment

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2010-06-07 v1

Abstract

We study the effects of random positional disorder in the transmission of waves in a 1D Kronig-Penny model. For weak disorder we derive an analytical expression for the localization length and relate it to the transmission coefficient for finite samples. The obtained results describe very well the experimental frequency dependence of the transmission in a microwave realization of the model. Our results can be applied both to photonic crystals and semiconductor super lattices.
