Fractal energy spectrum of a polariton gas in a Fibonacci quasiperiodic potential.

چکیده
We report on the study of a polariton gas confined in a quasiperiodic one-dimensional cavity, described by a Fibonacci sequence. Imaging the polariton modes both in real and reciprocal space, we observe features characteristic of their fractal energy spectrum such as the opening of minigaps obeying the gap labeling theorem and log-periodic oscillations of the integrated density of states. These observations are accurately reproduced solving an effective 1D Schrödinger equation, illustrating the potential of cavity polaritons as a quantum simulator in complex topological geometries.

A numerical study is presented to investigate the electronic transport properties through a synthetic DNA molecule based on a quasiperiodic arrangement of its constituent nucleotides. Using a generalized Green's function technique, the electronic conduction through the poly(GACT)-poly(CTGA) DNA molecule in a metal/DNA/metal model structure has been studied. Making use of a renormalization schem...
متن کاملSpin Wave Specific Heat in Quasiperiodic Fibonacci Structures
The energy spectra of a variety of collective modes on quasiperiodic structures exhibit a complex fractal profile. Among the modes that have attracted particular attention in this context, are the spin wave spectra of quasiperiodic magnetic multilayers that obey a substitutional sequence of the Fibonacci type. They are described within the framework of the Heisenberg theory. In order to have a ...
متن کاملCritical Localization and Strange Nonchaotic Dynamics: The Fibonacci Chain
The discrete Schrödinger equation with a quasiperiodic dichotomous potential specified by the Fibonacci sequence is known to have a singular continuous eigenvalue spectrum with all states being critically localized. This equation can be transformed into a quasiperiodic skew product dynamical system. In this iterative mapping which is entirely equivalent to the Schrödinger problem, critically lo...
متن کاملMinimal multifractality in the spectrum of a quasiperiodic Hamiltonian
In many systems, the electronic energy spectrum is a continuous or singular continuous multifractal set with a distribution of scaling exponents. Here, we show that for a quasiperiodic potential, the multifractal energy spectrum can have a minimal dispersion of the scaling exponents. This is made by tuning the ratio between self-energies in a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined in a quasiperiodic...
متن کاملElectroabsorption spectroscopy of effective-mass AlxGa12xAs/GaAs Fibonacci superlattices
Effective-mass Fibonacci superlattices are composed of quasiperiodic sequences of weakly coupled quantum wells in which the transfer-matrix element is significantly smaller than the confinement energy, which is significantly smaller than the confining potential. We identify several distinct classes of quasiperiodic superlattices that are distinguished by diagonal vs off-diagonal quasiperiodicit...
