The localization length, $\xi$, in a 2--dimensional Anderson insulator depends on the electron spin scattering rate by magnetic impurities, $\tau_s^{-1}$. For antiferromagnetic sign of the exchange, %constant, the time $\tau_s$ is {\em…
Diffusion has been widely used to describe a random walk of particles or waves, and it requires only one parameter -- the diffusion constant. For waves, however, diffusion is an approximation that disregards the possibility of interference.…
