Quantum transport of slow charge carriers in quasicrystals and correlated systems
arXiv:cond-mat/0601145 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.026601
Abstract
We show that the semi-classical model of conduction breaks down if the mean free path of charge carriers is smaller than a typical extension of their wavefunction. This situation is realized for sufficiently slow charge carriers and leads to a transition from a metallic like to an insulating like regime when scattering by defects increases. This explains the unconventional conduction properties of quasicrystals and related alloys. The conduction properties of some heavy fermions or polaronic systems, where charge carriers are also slow, present a deep analogy.
