We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a topological transition of classical light in "photonic graphene": an array of waveguides arranged in the honeycomb geometry. As the system is uniaxially strained (compressed), the two unique…
Localization of light is the photon analog of electron localization in disordered lattices for whose discovery Anderson received the Nobel prize in 1977. The question about its existence in open three-dimensional materials has eluded an…
In the theory of Anderson localization, a landscape function predicts where wave functions localize in a disordered medium, without requiring the solution of an eigenvalue problem. It is known how to construct the localization landscape for…
In this work we analytically explain the origin of the mobility edge in the partially disordered random regular graphs of degree d, i.e., with a fraction $\beta$ of the sites being disordered, while the rest remain clean. It is shown that…
Anderson localization of electron states on graphene lattice with diagonal and off-diagonal (OD) disorder in the absence of magnetic field is investigated by using the standard finite-size scaling analysis. In the presence of diagonal…
Cutting a honeycomb lattice (HCL) can end up with three types of edges (zigzag, bearded and armchair), as is well known in the study of graphene edge states. Here we theoretically investigate and experimentally demonstrate a class of…
