Semiclassical spectral function and density of states in speckle potentials

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a novel analytical method for calculating the spectral function and the density of states in speckle potentials, valid in the semiclassical regime. Our approach relies on stationary phase approximations, allowing us to describe the singular quantum corrections at low energies. We apply it to the calculation of the spectral function and the density of states in one and two-dimensional speckle potentials. By connecting our results with those of previous work valid in the high energy sector, we end up with a consistent description of the whole energy spectrum, in good agreement with numerical simulations.
