Adiabatic destruction of Anderson localization

The effect of slow parameter variation on the Anderson localization in one-dimensional case was studied in [71]. It is shown that when the typical frequency of this variation $\omega$ (the signal assumed to be non monochromatic) goes to zero then the diffusion rate of propagation along the chain, produced by such adiabatic noise, is proportional to $\omega^{2/3}$. This dependence is explained on the basis of Mott mechanism of low frequency conductivity. The result differs from earlier predictions of M.Wilkinson. A similar type of diffusion was seen by D.Cohen for the model of kicked particle.
