Phase Coherence Phenomena in Disordered Superconductors

  • Chapter
Book cover Strongly Correlated Fermions and Bosons in Low-Dimensional Disordered Systems

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 72))

Abstract

Mechanisms of quantum phase coherence heavily influence spectral and transport properties of weakly disordered normal conductors. Such effects are manifest in weak and strong localization effects, and characteristic fluctuation phenomena. Over the past thirty years, theoretical progress in elucidating the mechanisms of quantum phase coherence in weakly disordered structures has been substantial: By now a consistent theory of weakly interacting disordered structures has been developed (For a review, see e.g., Refs. [1-3]).
