Coherent Forward Scattering Peak Induced by Anderson Localization
Coherent Forward Scattering Peak Induced by Anderson Localization
Numerical simulations show that, at the onset of Anderson localization, the momentum distribution of a coherent wave packet launched inside a random potential exhibits, in the forward direction, a novel interference peak that complements the coherent backscattering peak. An explanation of this phenomenon in terms of maximally crossed diagrams predicts …
