Lyapunov exponent, mobility edges, and critical region in the generalized Aubry-Andre model with an unbounded quasiperiodic potential

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the Anderson localization problems of the generalized Aubry-André model (Ganeshan-Pixley-Das Sarma's model) with an unbounded quasi-periodic potential where the parameter $|\alpha |\ge 1$. The Lyapunov exponent $\gamma (E)$ and the mobility edges $E_c$ are exactly obtained for the unbounded quasi-periodic potential. With the Lyapunov exponent, we find that there exists a critical region in the parameter $\lambda -E$ plane. The critical region consists of critical states. In comparison with localized and extended states, the fluctuation of spatial extensions of the critical states is much larger. The numerical results show that the scaling exponent of inverse participation ratio (IPR) of critical states $x\simeq 0.5$. Furthermore, it is found that the critical indices of localized length $\nu =1$ for bounded ($|\alpha |<1$) case and $\nu =1/2$ for unbounded ($|\alpha |\ge 1$) case. The above distinct critical indices can be used to distinguish the localized-extended from localized-critical transitions. At the end, we show that the systems with different $E$ for both cases of $|\alpha |<1$ and $|\alpha |\ge 1$ can be classified by the Lyapunov exponent $\gamma (E)$ and Avila's quantized acceleration $\omega (E)$.
