A semi-phenomenological theory of variable-range hopping (VRH) is developed for two-dimensional (2D) quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) systems such as arrays of quantum wires in the Wigner crystal regime. The theory follows the phenomenology…
The resistivity of a dense crystalline array of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) depends in a sensitive way on the level of doping as well as on the NC size and spacing. The choice of these parameters determines whether electron conduction…
To interpret recent experimental observations of the phononless hopping conduction, we suggest a novel transport mechanism according to which the current-carrying single electrons move via quantum resonant tunneling between localized states…
Hopping transport, characterized by carrier tunneling between localized states, is a key mechanism in disordered materials such as organic semiconductors, perovskites, nitride alloys, and 2D material-based inks. Two main regimes are…
Mott variable-range hopping is a fundamental mechanism for electron transport in disordered solids in the regime of strong Anderson localization. We give a brief description of this mechanism, recall some results concerning the behavior of…
The variable range hopping (VRH) model has been widely applied to describe electrical transport in disordered systems, providing theoretical formulas to fit temperature-dependent electric conductivity. These models rely on oversimplified…
We develop a theory of a variable range hopping transport in granular conductors based on the sequential electron tunnelling through many grains in the presence of the strong Coulomb interaction. The processes of quantum tunnelling of real…
We study the motion of free magnetic polarons in a paramagnetic background of fluctuating local moments. The polaron can tunnel only to nearby regions of local moments when these fluctuate into alignment. We propose this fluctuation induced…
We investigate theoretically the effect of a finite electric field on the resistivity of a disordered one-dimensional system in the variable-range hopping regime. We find that at low fields the transport is inhibited by rare fluctuations in…
Transport in disordered systems often occurs via the variable range hopping (VRH) in the dilute carrier density limit, where electrons hop between randomly distributed localized levels. We study the nonequilibrium transport by a uniform DC…
In the conventional theory of hopping transport the positions of localized electronic states are assumed to be fixed, and thermal fluctuations of atoms enter the theory only through the notion of phonons. On the other hand, in 1D and 2D…
We derive an effective cluster model to address the transport properties of mutually interacting small polarons. We propose a decoupling scheme where the hopping dynamics of any given particle is determined by separating out explicitly the…
It is shown that in many-electron systems quantum transfer amplitudes and thus transfer probabilities may be strongly influenced by fast fluctuating fields, in particular, caused by simultaneous electron transfers. Corresponding mutual…
Charge transport in disordered organic semiconductors occurs by hopping of charge carriers between localized sites that are randomly distributed in a strongly energy dependent density of states. Extracting disorder and hopping parameters…
The charge transport in some organic semiconductors demonstrates nonlinear properties and further universal power-law scaling with both bias and temperature. The physical origin of this behavior is investigated here using variable range…
We show that $1/f$-noise in the variable range hopping regime is related to transitions of many-electrons clusters (fluctuators) between two almost degenerate states. Giant fluctuation times necessary for $1/f$-noise are provided by slow…
For the low-temperature electrical conductance of a disordered {\it quantum insulator} in $d$-dimensions, Mott \cite{mott} had proposed his Variable Range Hopping (VRH) formula, $G(T) = G_0 {\rm exp}[-(T_0/T)^{\gamma}]$, where $G_0$ is a…
The motion of overdamped particles in a one-dimensional spatially-periodic potential is considered. The potential is also randomly-fluctuating in time, due to multiplicative colored noise terms, and has a deterministic tilt. Numerical…
Variable-range hopping conductivity has long been understood in terms of a canonical prescription for relating the single-particle density of states to the temperature-dependent conductivity. Here we demonstrate that this prescription…
Variable-range hopping (VRH) conductance fluctuations in the gate-voltage characteristics of mesoscopic GaAs and Si transistors are analyzed by means of their full distribution functions (DFs). The forms of the DF predicted by the theory of…
