Electron mobility in a disordered narrow band solid
Electron mobility in the narrow band solid with a cellular disorder is investigated by methods of the coherent potential theory. Numerical results for the tight-binding model with the Lorentzian distribution of site potentials are presented. The motion of the electron in the region of extended states is neither a well defined coherent band motion nor a simple Brownian diffusion. The statistical electron-hole correlation proves to be important and increases fast with the potential distribution width to band width ratio. The correlation also increases when approaching the mobility edges.
