Hole burning as a probe of localization.

ORAL

Abstract

An ensemble of two level systems (TLS) will, upon driving, generally undergo hole burning, wherein the response of the system to a probe will be suppressed around the frequencies at which it was driven. Many explanations of transport in Anderson Localized systems have relied on treating them as similar ensembles of TLS – an idea that was proposed by Mott. Under such considerations, Anderson Localized systems should also undergo Hole Burning under sustained driving. We have attempted to explore its implications, especially in transport quantities such as the AC conductivity.
