Generic mobility edges in several classes of duality-breaking one-dimensional quasiperiodic potentials

Abstract

We obtain approximate solutions defining the mobility edge separating localized and extended states for several classes of generic one-dimensional quasiperiodic models. We validate our analytical ansatz with exact numerical calculations. Rather amazingly, we provide a single simple ansatz for the generic mobility edge, which is satisfied by quasiperiodic models involving many different types of nonsinusoidal incommensurate potentials as well as many different types of long-range hopping models. Our ansatz agrees precisely with the well-known limiting cases of the sinusoidal Aubry-André model (which has no mobility edge) and the generalized Aubry-André models (which have analytical mobility edges). Our work provides a practical tool for estimating the location of mobility edges in quasiperiodic systems.
