The space-charge limited current (SCLC) in a vacuum diode is given by the Child-Langmuir law (CLL), whose electric potential $\varphi(x) = (\it{x/D})^{4/3}$, where x is the spatial coordinate across the gap and D is the gap separation…

Scaling theory predicts complete localization in $d=2$ in quantum systems belonging to orthogonal class (i.e. with time-reversal symmetry and spin-rotation symmetry). The conductance $g$ behaves as $g \sim exp(-L/l)$ with system size $L$…
