Localization-delocalization wavepacket transition in Pythagorean aperiodic potentials

چکیده
We introduce a composite optical lattice created by two mutually rotated square patterns and allowing observation of continuous transformation between incommensurate and completely periodic structures upon variation of the rotation angle θ. Such lattices acquire periodicity only for rotation angles cos θ = a/c, sin θ = b/c, set by Pythagorean triples of natural numbers (a, b, c). While linear eigenmodes supported by lattices associated with Pythagorean triples are always extended, composite patterns generated for intermediate rotation angles allow observation of the localization-delocalization transition of eigenmodes upon modification of the relative strength of two sublattices forming the composite pattern. Sharp delocalization of supported modes for certain θ values can be used for visualization of Pythagorean triples. The effects predicted here are general and also take place in composite structures generated by two rotated hexagonal lattices.

Localization-delocalization transition of indirect excitons in lateral electrostatic lattices.
We study transport of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells in linear lattices created by laterally modulated gate voltage. The localization-delocalization transition for transport across the lattice was observed with reducing lattice amplitude or increasing exciton density. The exciton interaction energy at the transition is close to the lattice amplitude. These results are co...
متن کاملLocalization on a two-channel model with cross-correlated disorder.
We study the wavepacket dynamics in a two-channel Anderson model with correlated diagonal disorder. To impose correlations in the disorder distribution we construct the on-site energy landscape following both symmetric and antisymmetric rules. Our numerical data show that symmetric cross-correlations have a small impact on the degree of localization of the one-particle eigenstates. In contrast,...

The study of effective interface models has been quite active recently, with a particular emphasis on the effect of various external potentials (wall, pinning potential, ...) leading to localization/delocalization transitions. I review some of the results that have been obtained. In particular, I discuss pinning by a local potential, entropic repulsion and the (pre)wetting transition, both for ...
