Abstract
The localization length of one-dimensional disordered systems with statistically correlated random potentials is studied both numerically and analytically. The results indicate that the localization length generally increases when the correlation function is positive. In the presence of anticorrelation effects the localization length may be shorter than in the uncorrelated case.
