Abstract

We report the experimental observation of strong multifractality in wave functions below the Anderson localization transition in open three-dimensional elastic networks. Our results confirm the recently predicted symmetry of the multifractal exponents. We have discovered that the result of multifractal analysis of real data depends on the excitation scheme used in the experiment.
