Assuming the same microscopic parameters for both wires, we focus on the relationship between inter-wire interaction and electron backward scattering by random potentials at low energy regime. Our analytical and numerical calculations show that the Drude weight, a measure of the electron transport, is influenced by inter-wire interaction and random potential independently, and little coupling between those two is observed, which is in contrast to a deep relationship between up- and down-spin interactions and random potentials in a single wire. It leads to that inter-wire interactions do not have a great influence on the Anderson localization in each wire.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-01-08T09:30:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random potential", "parallel quantum wires", "inter-wire interaction", "low energy regime", "electron transport property" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
