Anticorrelations from power-law spectral disorder and conditions for an
Anderson transition
   [PDF]

Greg M. Petersen, Nancy Sandler
We resolve an apparent contradiction between numeric and analytic results for one-dimensional disordered systems with power-law spectral correlations. The conflict arises when considering rigorous results that constrain the set of correlation functions yielding metallic states to those with non-zero values in the thermodynamic limit. By analyzing the scaling law for a model correlated disorder that produces a mobility edge, we show that no contradiction exists as the correlation function exhibits strong anticorrelations in the thermodynamic limit. Moreover, the associated scaling function reveals a size-dependent correlation with a smoothening of disorder amplitudes as the system size increases.
