Disorder is ubiquitous in solid-state systems, and its crucial influence on transport properties was revealed by the discovery of Anderson localization. Generally speaking, all bulk states will be exponentially localized in the strong…

One-dimensional topological Anderson insulators provide a paradigm for disorder-induced topological phases in which the underlying system turns from a trivial to a topological phase. It is widely recognized that the latter vanishes at large…
