Quantum Diffusion in Separable d-Dimensional Quasiperiodic Tilings
We study the electronic transport in quasiperiodic separable tight-binding
models in one, two, and three dimensions. First, we investigate a
one-dimensional quasiperiodic chain, in which the atoms are coupled by weak and
strong bonds aligned according to the Fibonacci chain. The associated
d-dimensional quasiperiodic tilings are constructed from the product of d such
chains, which yields either the square/cubic Fibonacci tiling or the labyrinth
tiling. We study the scaling behavior of the mean square displacement and the
return probability of wave packets with respect to time. We also discuss
results of renormalization group approaches and lower bounds for the scaling
exponent of the width of the wave packet.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, conference proceedings Aperiodic 2012 (Cairns
