13. Variation of the Stokes phase (Formula presented) from one intersection to the next (“disorder”) can have important effects. In a system similar to the present model, disorder in one-dimensional crystals driven by a linear magnetic flux produces additional localization in energy of the evolving state. D. Lubin, Y.
