The photoluminescence decay in amorphous semiconductors is described by power law $t^{-delta}$ at long times. The power-law decay of photoluminescence at long times is commonly observed but recent experiments have revealed that the…
In quantum mechanics an incoming particle wave packet with sufficient energy will undergo both transmission and reflection when encountering a barrier of lower energy, but in classical mechanics there is no reflection, only transmission. In…
Random scattering of photons in disordered one-dimensional solids gives rise to an exponential suppression of transmission, which is known as Anderson localization. Here, we experimentally study Anderson localization in a superconducting…
The propagation of classical wave in disordered media at the Anderson localization transition is studied. Our results show that the classical waves may follow a different scaling behavior from that for electrons. For electrons, the effect…
Anderson localization is ubiquitous in wavy systems with strong static and uncorrelated disorder. The delicate destructive interference underlying Anderson localization is usually washed out in the presence of temporal fluctuations or…
