It is shown that the Coulomb interaction can lead to delocalization of two electron states in two-dimensional (2D) disordered potential in a way similar to the Anderson transition in three dimensions (3D). At fixed disorder strength the…

Using the vanishing of the typical polaron tunneling rate as an indicator of the breakdown of itinerancy, we study the localization of polaron states in a generic model for a disordered polaronic material. We find that extremely small…

Anderson localization is a consequence of coherent interference of multiple scattering events in the presence of disorder, which leads to an exponential suppression of the transmission. The decay of the transmission is typically probed at a…
