Model Geometry & Disorder: The thickness of the sample, Lx = 8 μm, the width of the sample Lz = 1.0 mm, the length of the sample, Ly = 0.5 mm. The layer of air has thickness d = 96 μm, and the notch is an ellipse with constant major axis of a = 64 μm.. Here, the notch width W is 128 μm, but it is varied throughout this work. Similarly, the disorder ratio in this example is RG = 0.2
