We study how the influence of structural correlations in disordered systems manifests itself in experimentally measurable magnitudes, focusing on dc conductance of semiconductor superlattices with general potential profiles. We show that…
We develop a formalism to study the role of local defects in tight binding systems in the presence of a strong external ac electric field. It is found that the appearance and disappearance of localized states, as well as their localization…
We study a partially disordered one-dimensional system with interacting particles. Concretely, we impose a disorder potential to only every other site, followed by a clean site. Our numerical analysis of eigenstate properties is based on…
Disorder plays a crucial role in many systems particularly in solid state physics. However, the disorder in a particular system can usually not be chosen or controlled. We show that the unique control available for ultracold atomic gases…
We study disordered quantum-well-based semiconductor superlattices where the disorder is intentional and short-range correlated. Such systems consist of quantum-wells of two different thicknesses randomly distributed along the growth…
We use realistic pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis to study the electronic structure of non-periodic, three-dimensional, 2000-atom (AlAs)_n/(GaAs)_m (001) superlattices, where the individual layer thicknesses n,m = {1,2,3} are…
Continuous One-dimensional models supporting extended states are studied. These delocalized statesoccur at well defined values of the energy and are consequences of simple statistical correlation rules. We explicitly study alloys of…
Recent advances in transport properties measurements of disordered materials and lattice simulations, using superconducting qubits, have rekindled interest in Anderson localization, motivating our study of highly disordered quantum…
We present the first experimental evidence for the existence of strongly localized photonic modes due to random two dimensional fluctuations in the dielectric constant. In one direction, the modes are trapped by ordered Bragg reflecting…
We study charge transport in one-dimensional graphene superlattices created by applying layered periodic and disordered potentials. It is shown that the transport and spectral properties of such structures are strongly anisotropic. In the…
We study the spectral statistics of interacting spinless fermions in a two-dimensional disordered lattice. Within a full quantum treatment for small few-particle-systems, we compute the low-energy many-body states numerically. While at weak…
An ac field, tuned exactly to resonance with the Stark ladder in an ideal tight binding lattice under strong dc bias, counteracts Wannier-Stark localization and leads to the emergence of extended Floquet states. If there is random disorder,…
We observe the emergence of a disorder-induced insulating state in a strongly interacting atomic Fermi gas trapped in an optical lattice. This closed quantum system free of a thermal reservoir realizes the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model,…
We report the experimental study of resonant Rayleigh scattering in GaAs-AlGaAs superlattices with ordered and intentionally disordered potential profiles (correlated and uncorrelated) in the growth direction z. We show that the intentional…
The local density of states of Ag(111) has been probed in detail on disordered terraces of varying width by dI/dV-mapping with a scanning tunneling microscope at low temperatures. Apparent shifts of the bottom of the surface-state band edge…
Graphene superlattices (GSLs), formed by subjecting a monolayer graphene sheet to a periodic potential, can be used to engineer band structures and, from there, charge transport properties, but these are sensitive to the presence of…
When light waves propagate through disordered photonic lattices, they can eventually become localized due to multiple scattering effects. Here we show experimentally that while the evolution and localization of the photon density…
The localisation of electrons in a lattice potential is an quantum-mechanical phenomenon and is often associated with remarkable physical properties of solids involving electron spins, electric polarisations and topological effects. In…
We study the localization properties of disordered semiconductor superlattices driven by ac-fields. The localization length of the electrons in the superlattice increases when the frequency of the driving field is smaller than the miniband…
A completely opposite behavior of electronic localization is revealed in a spatially non-uniform disordered material compared to the traditional spatially uniform disordered one. This fact is substantiated by considering an order-disorder…
