摘要
Anderson localization of electromagnetic waves, caused by the disorder-induced arrest of wave diffusion, has been experimentally observed in systems with spatially fluctuating permeability, but only in lower dimensions, not in three dimensions. This paper introduces what we believe to be a novel theoretical approach to the Maxwell equations considering both electric and magnetic disorder. It demonstrates that when both the dielectric constant and magnetic permeability fluctuate in space, the spectral range for three-dimensional Anderson localization significantly increases.
