Enhanced suppression of localization in a continuous random-dimer model

Abstract

We consider a one-dimensional Kronig-Penney model with randomly placed dimer impurities. We show that this model has infinitely many resonances (zeroes of the reflection coefficient) giving rise to extended states. instead ofthe one allowed resonance arising in random tight-binding models with paired correlated on-site energies. We present exact transfer-matrix numeriwl calculations supporting, both realizationwise and on average. the conclusion that the model has a very large number of extended states, which can be relevant in several physical contexts.
