Electric fields on quasiperiodic potentials.

Abstract

The effects of an electric field on the electronic spectrum and localization properties of quasiperiodic chains are studied. As quasiperiodic systems, we use the Harper and the Fibonacci potentials since we prove that both are closely interrelated. In the limit of a strong field, a ladder spectrum with localized states is observed. The ladder structure can be understood by using perturbation theory. Then each local isomorphism class of the quasiperiodic potential reproduces its structure in the ladder. In the case of a weak field, we observed that the singular spectrum of the quasiperiodic potential tends to be smoothed, and the gaps decrease linearly with the field. Such an effect can be understood using a variational approach, perturbation theory and a series of approximants. When the electric field and the quasiperiodic potential have the same order of magnitude, it is possible to observe a delocalization effect due to local resonances.

Main findings

In quasiperiodic chains (Harper and Fibonacci potentials), a strong electric field produces a ladder spectrum with localized states. Under weak fields, the singular spectrum tends to smooth and spectral gaps decrease linearly with field strength. When the electric field and quasiperiodic potential are comparable in magnitude, delocalization due to local resonances can occur.

Outcomes measured

• electronic spectrum changes
• localization/delocalization properties
• gap size changes in spectrum

Limitations

• No biological/health outcomes assessed; study concerns electronic properties of quasiperiodic chains.
• No exposure metrics relevant to EMF health research (e.g., frequency, SAR) are provided in the abstract.
• Study design details (experimental vs theoretical/simulation) are not explicitly stated in the abstract.
