Fluctuation-Stimulated Variable-Range Hopping

Abstract

Qualitatively new transport mechanism is suggested for hopping of carriers according to which the variable-range hopping (VRH) arises from the resonant tunneling between transport states brought into resonance by Coulomb potentials produced by surrounding sites with fluctuating occupations. A semiquantitative description of the hopping transport is given based on the assumption that fluctuations of energies of hopping sites have spectral density 1/f.
