We study analytically and numerically the Anderson model in one dimension with "stealthy" disorder, defined as having a power spectrum that vanishes in a continuous band of wave numbers. Motivated by recent studies on the optical…
Subsequent to the ideas presented in our previous papers [J.Phys.: Condens. Matter {\bf 14} (2002) 13777 and Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 42} (2004) 529], we discuss here in detail a new analytical approach to calculating the phase-diagram for the…

Light propagation through 1D disordered structures composed of alternating layers, with random thicknesses, of air and a dispersive metamaterial is theoretically investigated. Both normal and oblique incidences are considered. By means of…
Wave localization occurs in all types of vibrating systems, in acoustics, mechanics, optics, or quantum physics. It arises either in systems of irregular geometry (weak localization) or in disordered systems (Anderson localization). We…
Phonon localization is a phenomenon that influences numerous material properties in condensed matter physics. Anderson localization brings rise to localized atomic-scale phonon interferences in disordered lattices with an influence limited…
We consider a disordered waveguide consisting of trivial dielectric and non-trivial magnetically anisotropic material. A topologically-protected edge mode appears owing to the broken time-reversal symmetry of the non-trivial lattice. While…

In an isolated single-particle quantum system a spatial disorder can induce Anderson localization. Being a result of interference, this phenomenon is expected to be fragile in the face of dissipation. Here we show that dissipation can drive…

Anderson localisation -- the inhibition of wave propagation in disordered media -- is a surprising interference phenomenon which is particularly intriguing in two-dimensional (2D) systems. While an ideal, non-interacting 2D system of…
We demonstrate that in pair plasma weakly nonlinear electromagnetic waves, $a_0 \leq 1$, experience Anderson self-localization. The beat between the driver and a back-scattered wave creates charge-neutral, large random density fluctuations…
We present a full analytical solution for the localisation length in the one-dimensional Anderson model with weak diagonal disorder in the vicinity of the band centre. The results are obtained with the Hamiltonian map approach that turns…
