Abstract

The evolution with length of the probability distribution for the two-probe conductance ( g2) of a disordered one-dimensional system is obtained numerically. It evolves from a strongly peaked distribution close to g2=1 in the small length limit towards another strongly peaked distribution near g2=0 in the large length limit. In the middle it goes through a quasi-diffusive regime where the distribution is nearly uniform. This is consistent with a universal conductance fluctuation of magnitude ≅0.3 e2/h (as observed in a recent paper) occurs in such a domain.
