Lifshitz tails in the 3D Anderson model
Abstract
Description
Consider the 3D Anderson model with a zero mean and bounded i.i.d. random potential. Let $λ$ be the coupling constant measuring the strength of the disorder, and $σ(E)$ the self energy of the model at energy $E$. For any $ε>0$ and sufficiently small $λ$, we derive almost sure localization in the band $E \le -σ(0)-λ^{4-ε}$. In this energy region, we show that the typical correlation length $ξ_E$ behaves roughly as $O((|E|-σ(E))^{-1/2})$, completing the argument outlined in the unpublished work of T. Spencer.
