Most of the investigations to date on tight-binding, quantum percolation models focused on the quantum percolation threshold, i.e., the analogue to the Anderson transition. It appears to occur if roughly 30% of the hopping terms are…

Systems under external confinement and constraints often show interesting properties. In this thesis, we study some systems under external confinement. We begin by finding out the probability distribution of end-to-end separation of a Worm…
