Anderson's rule, also known as the "Anderson localization," pertains mainly to the field of condensed matter physics and materials science. It refers to a phenomenon in disordered systems where the electronic wave functions become localized due to disorder, preventing them from spreading throughout the material. In a more general context, Anderson's rule can also refer to the principle related to the coupling of different types of electron orbitals in solid-state physics.
