Mobility edge for cold atoms in laser speckle potentials
arXiv:1403.3821 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.060601
Abstract
Using the transfer matrix method, we numerically compute the precise position of the mobility edge of atoms exposed to a laser speckle potential, and study its dependence vs. the disorder strength and correlation function. Our results deviate significantly from previous theoretical estimates using an approximate self-consistent approach of localization. In particular we find that the position of the mobility edge in blue-detuned speckles is much lower than in the red-detuned counterpart, pointing out the crucial role played by the asymmetric on-site distribution of speckle patterns.
