Local level statistics for optical and transport properties of disordered systems at finite temperature

Abstract

It is argued that the (traditional) global level statistics which determines localization and coherent transport properties of disordered systems at zero temperature (e.g. the Anderson model) becomes inappropriate when it comes to incoherent transport. We define local level statistics which proves to be relevant for finite temperature incoherent transport and optics of one-dimensional systems (e.g. molecular aggregates, conjugated polymers, etc.).
