Variable-range hopping

Variable-range hopping, or Mott variable-range hopping, is a model describing low-temperature conduction in strongly disordered systems with localized charge-carrier states.
It has a characteristic temperature dependence of
:\sigma= \sigma_0e^}.
Hopping conduction at low temperatures is of great interest because of the savings the semiconductor industry could achieve if they were able to replace single-crystal devices with glass layers.〔P.V.E. McClintock, D.J. Meredith, J.K. Wigmore. ''Matter at Low Temperatures''. Blackie. 1984 ISBN 0-216-91594-5.〕
==Derivation==
The original Mott paper introduced a simplifying assumption that the hopping energy depends inversely on the cube of the hopping distance (in the three-dimensional case). Later it was shown that this assumption was unnecessary, and this proof is followed here. In the original paper, the hopping probability at a given temperature was seen to depend on two parameters, ''R'' the spatial separation of the sites, and ''W'', their energy separation. Apsley and Hughes noted that in a truly amorphous system, these variables are random and independent and so can be combined into a single parameter, the ''range'' \textstyle\mathcal between two sites, which determines the probability of hopping between them.
Mott showed that the probability of hopping between two states of spatial separation \textstyle R and energy separation ''W'' has the form:
:P\sim \exp \left(R-\frac\right )
where α−1 is the attenuation length for a hydrogen-like localised wave-function. This assumes that hopping to a state with a higher energy is the rate limiting process.
We now define \textstyle\mathcal = 2\alpha R+W/kT, the ''range'' between two states, so \textstyle P\sim \exp (-\mathcal). The states may be regarded as points in a four-dimensional random array (three spatial coordinates and one energy coordinate), with the `distance' between them given by the range \textstyle\mathcal.
Conduction is the result of many series of hops through this four-dimensional array and as short-range hops are favoured, it is the average nearest-neighbour `distance' between states which determines the overall conductivity. Thus the conductivity has the form
:\sigma \sim \exp (-\overline)
where \textstyle\overlineis the average nearest-neighbour range. The problem is therefore to calculate this quantity.
The first step is to obtain \textstyle\mathcal(\mathcal), the total number of states within a range \textstyle\mathcal of some initial state at the Fermi level. For ''d''-dimensions, and under particular assumptions this turns out to be
:\mathcal(\mathcal) = K \mathcal^
where \textstyle K = \frac.
The particular assumptions are simply that \textstyle\overline is well less than the band-width and comfortably bigger than the interatomic spacing.
Then the probability that a state with range \textstyle\mathcal is the nearest neighbour in the four-dimensional space (or in general the (''d''+1)-dimensional space) is
:P_(\mathcal) = \frac)}(\mathcal)" TITLE="-\mathcal(\mathcal)">)
the nearest-neighbour distribution.
For the ''d''-dimensional case then
:\overline = \int_0^\infty (d+1)K\mathcal^\exp (-K\mathcal^)d\mathcal.
This can be evaluated by making a simple substitution of \textstyle t=K\mathcal^ into the gamma function, \textstyle \Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^ e^\,\mathrmt
After some algebra this gives
:\overline = \frac)}}}
and hence that
:\sigma \propto \exp \left(-T^}\right).
