contents Consider the random Schrödinger operator $H_n$ defined on $\{0,1,\cdots,n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}$ $$ (H_nψ)_\ell=ψ_{\ell-1,n}+ψ_{\ell+1,n}+σ\frac{ω_\ell}{a_{\ell,n}}ψ_{\ell,n},\quad ψ_0=ψ_{n+1}=0, $$ where $σ>0$, $ω_\ell$ are i.i.d. random variables and $a_{\ell,n}$ typically has order $\sqrt{n}$ for $\ell\in[εn,(1-ε)n]$ and any $ε>0$. Two important cases: (a) the vanishing case $a_{\ell,n}=\sqrt{n}$ and (b) the decaying case $a_{\ell,n}=\sqrt{\ell}$, were studied before in \cite{kritchevski2011scaling}. In this paper we consider more general decaying profiles that lie in between these two extreme cases. We characterize the scaling limit of transfer matrices and determine the point process limit of eigenvalues near a fixed energy in the bulk, in terms of solutions to coupled SDEs. We obtain new point processes that share similar properties to the $\text{Sch}_τ$ process. We determine the shape profile of eigenfunctions after a suitable rescaling, that corresponds to a uniformly chosen eigenvalue of $H_n$. We also give a more detailed description of the newly defined point processes, including the probability of small and large gaps and a variance estimate.
