Abstract
We propose the use of third sound in films on a disordered substrate as a system for the study of Anderson localization in two dimensions. Quantitative predictions for the localization length are made with use of the self-consistent diagrammatic theory of localization. Dramatic effects are predicted in an experimentally accessible regime.
