The Statistical Physics of Sedimentary Rock

Po‐Zen Wong
OpenURL
Show Topic
The complexity of million‐year‐old sedimentary rock is being unraveled by such modern concepts of random systems as fractals, percolation and diffusion‐limited growth.

Disordered Electronic Systems

Boris L. Al'tshuler and Patrick A. Lee
OpenURL
Show Topic
Quantum mechanical coherence of electron wavefunctions in materials with imperfections has led to major revisions in the theory of electrical conductivity and to novel phenomena in submicron devices.

Quantum Interference Fluctuations in Disordered Metals

Richard A. Webb and Sean Washburn
OpenURL
Show Topic
Phase coherence over thousands of lattice spacings in disordered metals can produce quantum interference effects in electrical resistance measured in very small devices.

Theory of Random Magnets

Daniel S. Fisher, Geoffrey M. Grinstein, and Anil Khurana
OpenURL
Show Topic
After almost a decade of intense research on their unusual phases and even more unusual dynamical behavior, random magnets have emerged as prototypes for a wide variety of systems with frozen‐in disorder.

Statistical Mechanics of Neural Networks

Haim Sompolinsky
OpenURL
Show Topic
Studies of disordered systems have generated new insights into the cooperative behavior and emergent computational properties of large, highly connected networks of simple, neuron‐like processors.
