Abstract
We study the thermal properties of a pinned disordered harmonic chain weakly perturbed by a noise and an anharmonic potential. The noise is controlled by a parameter , and the anharmonicity by a parameter . Let be the conductivity of the chain, defined through the Green-Kubo formula. Under suitable hypotheses, we show that and, in the absence of anharmonic potential, that . This is in sharp contrast with the ordered chain for which , and so shows the persitence of localization effects for a non-integrable dynamics.
