Localization of Interacting Fermions in the Aubry-André Model.
We consider interacting electrons in a one-dimensional lattice with an incommensurate Aubry-André potential in the regime when the single-particle eigenstates are localized. We rigorously establish the persistence of ground state localization in the presence of weak many-body interaction, for almost all the chemical potentials. The proof uses a quantum many-body extension of methods adopted for...
متن کاملTopological States and adiabatic pumping in quasicrystals.
The unrelated discoveries of quasicrystals and topological insulators have in turn challenged prevailing paradigms in condensed-matter physics. We find a surprising connection between quasicrystals and topological phases of matter: (i) quasicrystals exhibit nontrivial topological properties and (ii) these properties are attributed to dimensions higher than that of the quasicrystal. Specifically...
متن کاملQuantum diffusion in the generalized Harper equation
We study numerically the dynamic and spectral properties of a one-dimensional quasi-periodic system, where site energies are given by k = V cos 2πf xk with xk denoting the kth quasiperiodic lattice site. When 2πf is given by the reciprocal lattice vector G(m, n) with n and m being successive Fibonacci numbers, the variance of the wavepacket is found to grow quadratically in time, regardless of ...
متن کاملNoise-assisted classical adiabatic pumping in a symmetric periodic potential.
We consider a classical overdamped Brownian particle moving in a symmetric periodic potential. We show that a net particle flow can be produced by adiabatically changing two external periodic potentials with a phase difference phi in time and chi in space. The classical pumped current is found to be independent of the friction and to vanish both in the limit of low and high temperature. Below a...
متن کاملAdiabatic pumping mechanism for ion motive ATPases.
An ion motive ATPase is a membrane protein that pumps ions across the membrane at the expense of the chemical energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis. Here we describe how an external electric field, by inducing transitions between several protein configurations, can also power this pump. The underlying mechanism may be very similar to that of a recently constructed adiabatic electron...
