We investigate the three-dimensional Anderson model of localization via a modified transfer-matrix method in the presence of scale-free diagonal disorder characterized by a disorder correlation function $g(r)$ decaying asymptotically as $r^{-\alpha}$. We study the dependence of the localization-length exponent $\nu$ on the correlation-strength exponent $\alpha$. % For fixed disorder $W$, there is a critical $\alpha_{\rm c}$, such that for $\alpha<\alpha_{\rm c}$, $\nu=2/\alpha$ and for \$\alpha…

It is found that random and lambda-DNA have localization lengths allowing for electron motion among a few dozen basepairs only, and a novel enhancement of localization lengths is observed at particular energies for an increasing binary backbone disorder.

By analysing 162 disease-related genes from a variety of medical databases with a total of almost 20,000 observed pathogenic mutations, a significant difference in the electronic properties of the population of observed mutations is shown compared to the set of all possible mutations.
