Abstract

From a partial-differential eigenproblem, without use of dipole approximation, it was shown that the eigenmodes of disordered nanosystems are not universally Anderson-localized, but can have properties of both localized and delocalized states simultaneously. Their topology was determined by separate small-scale "hot spots". The existence of dark vs. luminous eigenmodes was established.
