Single parameter scaling of one-dimensional systems with real-space long-range correlated disorder

Abstract: Advances in material growth methods have renewed the interest in localization of one-dimensional systems in the presence of scale-free long-range correlated disorder potentials. We analyze the validity of single parameter scaling for the \beta-function away from the band center, in the presence of correlations. A renormalized disorder strength emerges reducing the regime of validity of the single parameter scaling hypothesis. Analysis of localization lengths and participation ratios leads to correlation dependent critical and fractal exponents, consistent with the extended Harris criterion.
