and for phonon-like excitations. From (3.51) we deduce<br />

which agrees with the findings <strong>of</strong> [33], and also with [79], where the limits<br />
σ → 0 and ξ → 0 have been investigated. It should be noted that these<br />
approaches employ the phase-formalism that is particularly suited for 1D<br />
systems, whereas our Green-function theory permits to go to higher dimensions<br />
without conceptual difficulties.<br />
Also in two dimensions, the localization length is related to the Boltzmann<br />
transport length lB, but it is not the same scale. By using scaling<br />
theory [17, chapter 8.2], it can be shown that the localization length de-<br />
pends exponentially on klB<br />

This result was derived for electrons, i.e. for particles, but also the localization<br />
length <strong>of</strong> phonons scales exponentially [29].<br />
In three dimensions, the question <strong>of</strong> localization is less clear, because localized<br />
and delocalized states coexist and phonons and particles have different<br />
characteristics [29] (section 5.3).<br />
3.4.5. Renormalization <strong>of</strong> the dispersion relation<br />
In this subsection, the (real) shift <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> dispersion relation due<br />
to the disorder potential is derived. In the limit <strong>of</strong> small kξ, this shift is the<br />
correction <strong>of</strong> the speed <strong>of</strong> sound.<br />
In the grand canonical ensemble, which was employed so far, the correction<br />
is directly given by the self-energy, which is here taken in the on-shell<br />
Born approximation. From the real part <strong>of</strong> (3.46), the disorder-averaged<br />
dispersion relation is found as<br />
ɛk = ɛk + ReΣ B (k, ɛk) . (3.54)<br />
We define the relative correction in units <strong>of</strong> V 2<br />
0 /µ 2 , i.e., we take the scaling<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Born approximation into account<br />
