Verification of a localization criterion for several disordered media

Abstract

We analytically compute a localization criterion in double scattering approximation for a set of dielectric spheres or perfectly conducting disks uniformly distributed in a spatial volume which can be either spherical or layered. For every disordered medium, we numerically investigate a localization criterion, and examine the influence of the system parameters on the wavelength localization domains.Comment: 30 pages, LateX, amstex, revtex styles, 20 figure
