Abstract

Disorder effects in quantum electronic systems have led to a variety of novel phases. Fermionic systems have played a special role in our understanding of such effects. Indeed for fermions, the Pauli principle prevent the fermions to be trapped macroscopically in the minima of the random potential, making the non interacting case worthwhile to study. Disorder then leads to the rich physics of Anderson localization. Using both scaling theories and sophisticated field theoretical techniques, it is now known that electrons are localized by disorder in one and two dimensions, whereas a mobility edge exists in three dimensions.
