Towards a Classification of the Effects of Disorder on Materials Properties

Abstract

Many 'interesting; correlated electron materials exhibit an unusual sensitivity of measured properties to external perturbations, and in particular to imperfections in the sample being measured. It is argued that in addition to its inconvenience, this sensitivity may indicated potentially useful properties. A partial classification of causes of such sensitivity is given.
