Transport in Disordered Systems

将研究无序系统的输运性质。 将考虑三个领域-经典波的局部化， 无序结构上的随机游动及其性质 随机电阻网络 实现这一目标的主要工具是 研究是重整化群的几种形式 尽管计算机模拟和各种其他理论 方法也将被使用。 该研究将涉及一个 各种物理问题，包括：第三传播 无序衬底上的声音，玻璃或 令人沮丧的系统，例如自旋玻璃，以及导电性和 复合材料的击穿特性。

Transport properties of disordered systems will be investigated. Three areas will be considered--localization of classical waves, random walks on disordered structures and the properties of random resistor networks. The primary tool in carrying out this research is the renormalization group in several of its forms although computer simulations and a variety of other theoretical methods will also be employed. The research will relate to a variety of physical problems including: the propagation of third sound on disordered substrates, relaxation in glassy or frustrated systems such as spin glasses, and the conductivity and breakdown properties of composite materials.
