Observation of photon localization in a three-dimensional disordered system
Abstract
The diffusion and absorption coefficients of microwave radiation in random mixtures of metallic and dielectric spheres are determined from measurements of the intensity correlation function with frequency shift and of the scale dependence of transmission. We find a narrow window of localization in frequency and metallic concentration. The transition is rounded by the presence of absorption.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
