Mobility edge in aperiodic Kronig-Penney potentials with correlated disorder: Perturbative approach

Description

It is shown that a nonperiodic Kronig-Penney model exhibits mobility edges if the positions of the scatterers are correlated at long distances. An analytical expression for the energy-dependent localization length is derived for weak disorder in terms of the real-space correlators defining the structural disorder in these systems. We also present an algorithm to construct a nonperiodic but correlated sequence exhibiting desired mobility edges. This result could be used to construct window filters in electronic, acoustic, or photonic nonperiodic structures
