Abstract
dc.description.abstract
We show, numerically and experimentally, that the presence
of weak disorder results in an enhanced energy distribution of an initially
localized wave-packet, in one- and two-dimensional finite lattices. The
addition of a focusing nonlinearity facilitates the spreading effect even
further by increasing the wave-packet effective size. We find a clear
transition between the regions of enhanced spreading (weak disorder) and
localization (strong disorder).
