Transmission in waveguides with compositional and structural disorder:   experimental effects of disorder cross-correlations
  We analyse the single-mode transmission of microwaves in a guide with internal random structure. The waveguide contains scatterers characterised by random heights and positions, corresponding to compositional and structural disorder. We measure the effects of cross-correlations between two kinds of disorder, showing how they enhance or attenuate the experimentally found transmission gaps generated by long-range self-correlations. The results agree with the theoretical predictions obtained for the aperiodic Kronig-Penney model and prove that self- and cross-correlations have relevant effects also in finite disordered samples of small size.
