The location of the mobility edge is a long standing problem in Anderson localization. In this paper, we show that the effective confining potential introduced in the localization landscape (LL) theory predicts the onset of delocalization…
In the weak coupling BCS-approximation normal impurities do not influence superconducting T_{c} in significant manner in case of isotropic s-wave pairing. However, in case of d-wave pairing these are strongly pair-breaking. This fact is in…

The Anderson localization transition is one of the most well studied examples of a zero temperature quantum phase transition. On the other hand, many open questions remain about the phenomenology of disordered systems driven far out of…
