Observation of infinite-range intensity correlations above, at, and below the mobility edges of the 3D Anderson localization transition.

چکیده
We investigate long-range intensity correlations on both sides of the Anderson transition of classical waves in a three-dimensional disordered material. Our ultrasonic experiments are designed to unambiguously detect a recently predicted infinite-range C0 contribution, due to local density of states fluctuations near the source. We find that these C0 correlations, in addition to C2 and C3 contributions, are significantly enhanced near mobility edges. Separate measurements of the inverse participation ratio reveal a link between C0 and the anomalous dimension Δ2, implying that C0 may also be used to explore the critical regime of the Anderson transition.

Localization and Quantum Percolation
Electronic wave functions are studied on dilute lattices, at dimensionalities 1⩽d⩽8. Generalized average inverse participation ratios are expanded in powers of the bond concentration, p. Dlog Padé approximants indicate that these ratios diverge as (pq−p)-γq, signaling the appearance of extended states for p>pq. These Anderson transitions occur above classical percolation. No divergence is detec...
متن کاملHow planting density and grazing intensity affect the above- and below-ground carbon pools in a dryland ecosystem?
Climate change is known as one of the most important environmental challenges. Sequestration of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is a low-cost option that may be available in the near-term to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, while providing additional benefits. In this study, we estimated the effects of planting density and grazing intensity on the potential of Atriplex canes...
متن کاملModifications to Walker-Anderson Model for Analysis of High-velocity Penetration of an Eroding Long-rod Projectile into Semi-infinite Concrete Targets
This paper presents a modified form of the Walker-Anderson (W-A) model for analyzing high velocity penetration of an eroding projectile into a concrete target in which the W-A model is improved by incorporating calculations for the plastic flow field of concrete in terms of its compressibility and strain rate sensitivity under severe pressure. With the changes to and calculations of plastic fie...
متن کاملMobility Edges and Anderson Transitions
When the Anderson Hamiltonian for independent electrons in a disordered solid is represented in a basis of extended wave functions, its matrix elements take definite values rather than distributions of values because they become averages over infinite numbers of independent site-energies. As a result of this averaging, there is a band of extended states whose width increases with disorder, but ...
