Abstract

In this paper, we consider a square lattice with correlated random hopping terms under the effect of an external electric field. We analyzed the dynamics of an initially localized electronic wave packet using a Taylor formalism to solve the Schrödinger dynamic equation. Our calculations suggest that the correlated disorder promotes a fast electronic propagation for intermediate times. When we switch on a static electric field, we observe an oscillatory behavior similar to the well-known “Bloch oscillations†phenomenology. We calculate the frequency of these oscillations, and our results are in good agreement with those predicted by the semi-classical approach used in crystalline lattices. Based on the local disorder and in the absence of extended states in our model, we discussed the stability of these apparent “Bloch oscillations†.
