We perform a detailed numerical study of the conductance G through one-dimensional (1D)
tight-binding wires with on-site disorder. The random configurations of the on-site energies ε

We perform a detailed numerical study of the conductance through one-dimensional (1D) tight-binding wires with on-site disorder. The random configurations of the on-site energies of the tight-binding Hamiltonian are characterized by long-tailed distributions: For large , with . Our model serves as a generalization of the 1D Lloyd model, which corresponds to . First, we verify that the ensemble average −lnG is proportional to the length of the wire for all values of , providing the localization length from −lnG=2L/ξ. Then, we show that the probability distribution function is fully determined by the exponent and −lnG. In contrast to 1D wires with standard white-noise disorder, our wire model exhibits bimodal distributions of the conductance with peaks at and 1. In addition, we show that is proportional to , for , with , in agreement with previous studies.
