Self similarities in quasiperiodic magnetic superlattices
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the quasiperiodic behavior of electrons in a Fibonacci magnetic superlattice, produced on a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) modulated by magnetic field stripes arranged in a Fibonacci sequence. A rich (multifractal) resonant structure of transmission and conductance spectra is revealed. Although electron motion in a magnetically modulated 2DEG is inherently a two dimensional process, both the transmission coefficient and conductance exhibit self-similarity and six-circle properties regardless of the value of the wavevector perpendicular to the tunneling direction. At most incident energies, the conductance G decreases with the sample length in the tunneling direction lx not faster than a power of lx. Typeset using REVTEX

Quasiperiodic time dependent current in driven superlattices : distorted Poincaré maps and strange attractors
Intriguing routes to chaos have been experimentally observed in semiconductor superlattices driven by an ac field. In this work, a theoretical model of time dependent transport in ac driven superlattices is numerically solved. In agreement with experiments, distorted Poincaré maps in the quasiperiodic regime are found. They indicate the appearance of very complex attractors and routes to chaos ...
متن کاملAnderson localization and Brewster anomalies in photonic disordered quasiperiodic lattices.
A comprehensive study of the properties of light propagation through one-dimensional photonic disordered quasiperiodic superlattices, composed of alternating layers with random thicknesses of air and a dispersive metamaterial, is theoretically performed. The superlattices consist of the successive stacking of N quasiperiodic Fibonacci or Thue-Morse heterostructures. The width of the slabs in th...

متن کاملPattern formation and spatial self-entrainment in bistable chemical systems.
We describe the formation of spatial structures generated by diffusive instabilities in bistable systems. The coupling between the different spatial modes emanating from the two homogeneous steady states can then give rise to self-parametric instabilities favoring the occurrence of resonant rhombic or quasiperiodic structures such as superlattices or quasicrystalline patterns.
متن کاملQuasiperiodic Dynamics in Bose-Einstein Condensates in Periodic Lattices and Superlattices
Authors’ note: We rephrased the abstract. We employ KAM theory to rigorously investigate quasiperiodic dynamics in cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in periodic lattices and superlattices. Toward this end, we apply a coherent structure ansatz to the GrossPitaevskii equation to obtain a parametrically forced Duffing equation describing the spatial dynamics of the condensate. For shall...
