Chakrabarti B.K., Bardhan K.K., Sen A.S. (Eds.) Quantum and Semi-classical Percolation and Breakdown in Disordered Solids

Springer, 2009. — 326 p. — (Lecture Notes in Physics 762). — ISBN: 978-3-540-85428-9, 978-3-642-09911-3, 978-3-540-85427-2.This set of extensive tutorial reviews and lectures focusses on the semi-classical and quantum aspects of percolation methods and their application to breakdown phenomena in disordered composite or granular materials. It sets out to connect - for the first time and in a coherent fashion - many recent theoretical and experimental advances in adjacent fields, such as the investigation of nonlinear current-voltage characteristics of 'quantum-dotted' materials or Zener breakdown in Mott or Anderson insulators. Last but not least, a final chapter explores the application of quantum percolation methods to the rapidly emerging field of quantum computing and communication.Quantum Percolation in Two Dimensions.
