tight-binding wires with on-site disorder. The random configurations of the on-site energies ε
of the tight-binding Hamiltonian are characterized by long-tailed distributions: For large ε, P
(ε)∼ 1/ε 1+ α with α∈(0, 2). Our model serves as a generalization of the 1D Lloyd model,
which corresponds to α= 1. First, we verify that the ensemble average− ln G is proportional to
the length of the wire L for all values of α, providing the localization length ξ from− ln G= 2 …
