Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Disordered systems
  • Quantum mechanics

Background:

  • The Anderson model describes electron localization in disordered materials.
  • Anomalously localized states (ALS) present unique localization properties.
  • Existing theories struggle to fully explain ALS behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nature of anomalously localized states (ALS) within the Anderson model.
  • To determine if ALS are linked to continuous theories or are lattice-specific.
  • To elucidate the spatial characteristics and probability of ALS.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the Anderson model on a lattice.
  • Identification of the spatial structure of ALS.
  • Calculation of the likelihood of ALS occurrence.

  • ALS are shown to be unrelated to any continuous theories.
  • The spatial structure and likelihood of ALS were successfully calculated.

Conclusions:

  • The lattice-specific nature of ALS is confirmed.
  • Analytical results provide explanations for discrepancies in prior numerical simulations.
  • This work offers a new perspective on electron localization in disordered systems.
