Experimental observation of three-dimensional Anderson localization of electromagnetic waves
Antton Goïcoechea, Alexey Yamilov, Clément Ferise +3
A prominent phenomenon in contemporary condensed matter physics is Anderson localization -- suppression of wave propagation in disordered systems as a result of interference effect…
Delocalization transition for light in two dimensions
Sébastien Lucas, Christian Miniatura, Sergey E. Skipetrov
Common belief, confirmed by existing experiments, is that arbitrarily weak disorder should lead to spatial localization of eigenmodes of scalar wave equations when wave propagation…
Anomalous diffusion and localization in a disorder-free atomic mixture
Stefano Finelli, Beatrice Restivo, Alessio Ciamei +5
The concept of random walk, in which particles or waves undergo multiple collisions with the microscopic constituents of a surrounding medium, is central to understanding diffusive…
Dynamics of transport by helical edge states
Luis Alberto Razo López, Pierre Wulles, Geoffroy J. Aubry +2
Topologically nontrivial band structure of a material may give rise to special states that are confined to the material's boundary and protected against disorder and scattering. Qu…
Anderson localization of light by impurities in a solid transparent matrix
S. E. Skipetrov, I. M. Sokolov
A solid transparent medium with randomly positioned, immobile impurity atoms is a promising candidate for observation of Anderson localization of light in three dimensions. It can…
Higher-order localization landscape theory of Anderson localization
Sergey E. Skipetrov
For a Hamiltonian containing a position-dependent (disordered) potential, we introduce a sequence of landscape functions obeying ${\hat H} u_n(\vec{r}) =…
