Abstract

We explore various properties of classical one-dimensional Wigner solids in the presence of disorder at T=0 in the context of a recently discovered Anderson transition of plasma modes in the random potential system. The extent to which the Wigner lattice is really a ``crystal'' rather than an amorphous solid is discussed for two types of disorder. We investigate the way in which zero point quantum fluctuations that would normally destroy the long range positional order are affected by the disorder. The probability density of particle spacings is examined analytically within a weak disorder approximation and compared to numerical calculations for two different realizations of disorder. We also discuss the multifractal character of the eigenmodes, the compressibility of the electrons, and the AC conductivity.
