Anderson transition for elastic waves in three dimensions
Abstract
We use two different fully vectorial microscopic models featuring nonresonant and resonant scattering, respectively, to demonstrate the Anderson localization transition for elastic waves in three-dimensional (3D) disordered solids. Critical parameters of the transition determined by finite-time and finite-size scaling analyses suggest that the transition belongs to the 3D orthogonal universality class. Similarities and differences between the elastic-wave and light scattering in strongly disordered media are discussed.
