The Kondo effect and the scaling theory of localization are among the fundamental and early discoveries which revealed the novelty hidden in impure or disordered systems. Recent advances in condensed matter physics have emphasized the role of topology, spin-orbit coupling, and certain discrete symmetries such as time reversal in many physical phenomena. These have irreversibly transformed the essential ideas and purview of condensed matter physics, both in theoretical and experimental directions. However, many of these recent developments and their implications are limited to, or by, ideas that pertain to clean systems. This thesis deals with various aspects of these new developments, but in the case of unclean systems. The author introduces new ideas such as amorphous topological insulators, fractalized metals and fractionalized spins. 000891477 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 23, 2019). 000891477 650_0 $$aCondensed matter. 000891477 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 000891477 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000891477 852__ $$bebk 000891477 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-21511-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000891477 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:891477$$pGLOBAL_SET 000891477 980__ $$aEBOOK 000891477 980__ $$aBIB 000891477 982__ $$aEbook 000891477 983__ $$aOnline 000891477 994__ $$a92$$bISE
