Localization Phenomena

Localization Phenomena is a physical process in electronic transport modeling within representative volume elements characterized by the confinement of charge carriers or electronic states to specific spatial regions due to structural disorder, defects, or inhomogeneities, distinguishing it from delocalized conduction mechanisms.
