Resonance width distribution for high-dimensional random media
Abstract
We study the distribution of resonance widths P(G) for three-dimensional (3D) random scattering media and analyze how it changes as a function of the randomness strength. We are able to identify in P(G) the system-inherent fingerprints of the metallic, localized, and critical regimes. Based on the properties of resonance widths, we also suggest a new criterion for determining and analyzing the metal-insulator transition. Our theoretical predictions are verified numerically for the prototypical 3D tight-binding Anderson model.
