Amorphous metal
Videos
An amorphous metal is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arra

Anderson localization

In condensed matter physics, Anderson localization is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. In other words, disordered media are good at trapping waves. This phenomenon is named af

…localization effects". In very strongly disordered metals, impurities in the atomic structure can induce bound electronic states in what is called "Anderson localization", effectively binding the electrons and inhibiting their movement. Bioabsorbable metallic glass…
