The random site potential is assumed to be long-range correlated with a power-law spectral density S(k)similar to 1/k(alpha), alpha > 0. This type of correlation results in a phase of extended states at the band center, provided alpha is larger than a critical value alpha(c) [F. A. B. F. de Moura and M. L. Lyra, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3735 (1998)]. The width of the delocalized phase can be tested by applying an external electric field: Bloch-like oscillations of a quasiparticle wave packet are governed by the two mobility edges, playing now the role of band edges [F. Dominguez-Adame , Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 197402 (2003)]. We demonstrate that the frequency-domain counterpart of these oscillations, the so-called Wannier-Stark ladder, also arises in this system. When the phase of extended states emerges in the system, this ladder turns out to be a comb of doublets, for some range of disorder strength and bias. Linear optical absorption provides a tool to detect this level structure.engWannier-Stark ladder in the linear absorption of a random system with scale-free disorderjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.73.174210http://journals.aps.org/open access938.9Range Correlated DisorderMetal-Insulator-Transition1d Anderson ModelDelta-Doped GaasBloch OscillationsElectric-FieldSemiconductor SuperlatticesRadiative LifetimeOptical-PropertiesFrenkel ExcitonFísica de materiales
