dc.description.abstract | The role of quadratic on-site pinning potentials on determining the size (N) dependence of the disorder averaged steady state heat current <J> in an isotopically disordered harmonic chain connected to stochastic heat baths is investigated. For two models of heat baths, namely white noise baths and Rubin's model of baths, we find that the N dependence of <J> is the same and depends on the number of pinning centers present in the chain. In the absence of pinning, <J>Fr~1/N1/2 while in the presence of one or two pins <J>Fi~1/N3/2. For a finite (n) number of pinning centers with 2<=n<<N we provide heuristic arguments and numerical evidence to show that <J>n~1/Nn−1/2. We discuss the relevance of our results in the context of recent experiments. | en |
