Anderson localization

In condensed matter physics, Anderson localization (also known as strong localization) is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. Weak localization and Anderson localization are condensed matter physics and Mesoscopic physics.

See Weak localization and Anderson localization

Coherent backscattering

In physics, coherent backscattering is observed when coherent radiation (such as a laser beam) propagates through a medium which has a large number of scattering centers (such as milk or a thick cloud) of size comparable to the wavelength of the radiation. Weak localization and coherent backscattering are Mesoscopic physics.

Digamma function

In mathematics, the digamma function is defined as the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function: It is the first of the polygamma functions.

Drude model

The Drude model of electrical conduction was proposed in 1900 by Paul Drude to explain the transport properties of electrons in materials (especially metals). Weak localization and Drude model are electric and magnetic fields in matter.

Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current.

See Weak localization and Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electron

The electron (or in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge.

See Weak localization and Electron

A metal is a material that, when polished or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Weak localization and metal are condensed matter physics.

See Weak localization and Metal

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms.

See Weak localization and Quantum mechanics

Random walk

In mathematics, a random walk, sometimes known as a drunkard's walk, is a stochastic process that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical space.

See Weak localization and Random walk

Relaxation (physics)

In the physical sciences, relaxation usually means the return of a perturbed system into equilibrium.

See Weak localization and Relaxation (physics)

Semiconductor

A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as copper, and an insulator, such as glass.

See Weak localization and Semiconductor

Spin–orbit interaction

In quantum physics, the spin–orbit interaction (also called spin–orbit effect or spin–orbit coupling) is a relativistic interaction of a particle's spin with its motion inside a potential.
