Transport properties near the Anderson transition

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The electronic transport properties in the presence of a temperature gradient in disordered systems near the metal-insulator transition [MIT] are considered. The d.c. conductivity σ\sigma, the thermoelectric power SS, the thermal conductivity KK and the Lorenz number L0L_0 are calculated for the three-dimensional Anderson model of localization using the Chester-Thellung-Kubo-Greenwood formulation of linear response. We show that σ\sigma, S, K and L0L_0 can be scaled to one-parameter scaling curves with a single scaling paramter kBT/μEc/Eck_BT/|{\mu-E_c}/E_c|.
