In the case of ordered potentials, we found that the nonlinearity suppresses the Wannier-Stark effect caused by the electric field. In the case of disordered potentials, the nonlinearity gives rise to a transition from superlocalized to weakly localized states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-08-30T17:57:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonlinear interaction", "electric field", "disordered chains", "simple kronig-penney model", "wannier-stark effect" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
