Abstract
Orientational disorder appears to persist in solid even at low temperature, and similar static disorders is likely to exist in . The effects of such disorder on their electronic structures are studied by three-band tight-binding models for the and conduction bands. The densities of states for the disordered systems are quite different from those in the ordered systems. Participation-ratio analyses suggest that most of the states are delocalized, but there should nonetheless be a host of experimental consequences associated with short mean free paths.
