What is recorded here?
Presented a disordered-lattice model in which sufficiently strong randomness localizes states and prevents diffusion, with criteria for the onset of transport in the model.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1958 Physical Review paper. Later mobility-edge scaling, interacting localization, experimental realizations and generalized wave-localization results remain separate.

Anderson: absence of diffusion in certain random lattices
