Anderson Localization and Its Ramifications: Disorder, Phase Coherence, and Electron Correlations Tobias Brandes Softcover Reprint of Hardcover 1st Ed. 2004 edition

Description for Sales People: The present volume, written by some of the leading experts in the field, is intended to highlight some of the recent progress in the field of localization, with particular emphasis on the effect of interactions on quantum coherence. The chapters are written in textbook style and should serve as a reliable and thorough introduction for advanced students or researchers already working in the field of mesoscopic physics. Table of Contents: Scaling at the Anderson Transition: A Historical Review.- Transfer Matrices and Finite Size Scaling for the Metal Insulator Transition.- New Aspects of the Single Parameter Scaling.- Transfer Matrices for the Anderson Transition: 20 Years Later.- A Self-Consistent Theory of the Anderson Transition.- Conductance Statistics Near the Anderson Transition.- Quantum Hall-Insulator Transition.- Experimental Tests of Scaling in the Quantum Hall Effect.- Localization of Acoustic Waves in Composite Structures.- Light in Disordered Dielectrics.- Disordered Systems in Phase Space.- Localization in the Presence of Chiral Symmetry.- Phase-Coherent Transport in Hybrid Nanostructures.- Quantum Tunneling of an Acoustic Polaron.- Phase Coherence in Quantum Information Systems.- Electron Correlation - An Odyssey from 1D to 3D.- From Independent Particle Towards Collective Motion in Two Dimensions.- Insulating-Non-Insulating Transitions in Granular and Disordered Metals at not Very Low Temperatures.- Electrons in Quantum Dots.- AC-Driven Localization in a Two-Electron Quantum Dot Molecule.- Spin Blockades in the Transport Through Quantum Dots.
