The Conductor Insulator Transition in Strongly Disordered Systems

  • Conference paper
Localization, Interaction, and Transport Phenomena

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 61))

Abstract

The basic concepts and approximations of the self consistent current relaxation theory for the particle motion in random potentials are reviewed. The scaling laws for the dynamical conductivity near the conductor insulator phase transition are discussed, the cross over from the transition dominated by quantum interference effects to the classical percolation transition is examined in particular. Results for the mobility and for the current excitations are compared with experimental data.
