Conductance and density of states anomalies as resonances of energy   bands in disordered coupled chains
  We show that off-diagonal nearest neighbor disorder in quasi-one-dimensional single particle tight-binding coupled chains leads to anomalies in the density of states and in the mean conductance, that can be interpreted as due to specific resonances of the band structure of the perfect system underlying the disordered one. We demonstrate that this phenomenology may appear not necessarily at the energy E=0 as reported so far in the literature and we show that also the even-odd chain number effect on the mean conductance is ruled by the same resonances. For different cases we provide a series expansion for the resonant contribution to the mean conductance. These expansions allow to make predictions well verified numerically.
