    Area of Science:

    • Condensed matter physics
    • Plasmonics
    • Wave phenomena

    Background:

    • Anderson localization is a well-established phenomenon observed in various wave systems, including matter, optical, and acoustic waves.
    • Metallic nanoparticle arrays offer a unique platform for exploring wave localization due to their plasmonic properties and tunable nonlinearities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the induction of Anderson localization in metallic nonlinear nanoparticle arrays.
    • To explore the role of random electrical driving fields in controlling wave localization within these arrays.
    • To demonstrate the potential for manipulating electromagnetic fields at the wavelength scale.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing numerical simulations to model the behavior of metallic nonlinear nanoparticle arrays.
    • Applying a random electrically driving field to excite the nanoparticle array.
    • Analyzing dipole intensity evolution and spatial distribution using statistical methods.

    Main Results:

    • Dipole-induced nonlinearity initially causes ballistic expansion of dipole intensity.
    • Randomness in the driving field suppresses this expansion, leading to localization above a threshold.
    • Anderson localization is statistically confirmed, with intensity confined to the scale of the incident wavelength.

    Conclusions:

    • Anderson localization can be effectively induced in metallic nonlinear nanoparticle arrays.
    • The strength of the random driving field is critical in achieving localization.
    • The findings provide a pathway for precise control of electromagnetic fields at the sub-wavelength scale.
