Anderson Localization in One Dimensional Systems: Shahnewaz Ahmed

The document discusses Anderson Localization in one-dimensional systems, focusing on the effects of impurities on electrical conductivity, optical properties, and energy transfer. It covers mathematical models such as the Schrödinger equation with random potentials, point scatterers, and the Kronig–Penney model with disorder. Additionally, it explores the product of random matrices, the Frisch–Lloyd equation, and the calculation of invariant measures, supported by references to relevant literature.

Anderson Localization
▪ Electrical conductivity in metals with impurities (and one often
neglects electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions); -
▪ Optical properties of random media (e.g. propagation of light
through a dirty atmosphere or of waves through a wave guide
with stochastic boundary);
▪ Energy (heat) transfer in crystals with impurities (random mass
model).
