Erratum: Suppression of localization in kronig-penney models with correlated disorder (Vol. 49, PG 147, 1994)

We consider the electron dynamics and transport properties of one-dimensional continuous models with random, short-range correlated impurities. We develop a generalized Poincare map formalism to cast the Schrodinger equation for any potential into a discrete set of equations, illustrating its application by means of a specific example. We then concentrate on the case of a Kronig-Penney model with dimer impurities. The previous technique allows us to show that this model presents infinitely many resonances (zeroes of the reflection coefficient at a single dimer) that give rise to a band of extended states, in contradiction with the general viewpoint that all one-dimensional models with random potentials support only localized states. We report on exact transfer-matrix numerical calculations of the transmission coefFicient, density of states, and localization length for various strengths of disorder. The most important conclusion so obtained is that this kind of system has a very large number of extended states. Multifractal analysis of very long systems clearly demonstrates the extended character of such states in the thermodynamic limit. In closing, we brieBy discuss the relevance of these results in several physical contexts.

Erratum: Two-Dimensional Failure Modeling with Minimal Repair which appeared in this journal of April 2004, Volume 51:3 on pages 345–362

In this Erratum, we point out the reason for an error in the derivation of a result in our earlier paper, “Two-Dimensional Failure Modeling with Minimal Repair” [1], which appeared in the April 2004 issue of this journal, 51:3, on pages 345–362, and give the correct derivation.
