Universalities in One-electron Properties of Limit Quasi-periodic Lattices

Abstract

We investigate one-electron properties of one-dimensional self-similar structures called limit quasi-periodic lattices. The trace map of such a lattice is nonconservative in contrast to the quasi-periodic case, and we can determine the structure of its attractor. It allows us to obtain the three new features of the present system: 1) The multi-fractal characters of the energy spectra are {\it universal}. 2) The supports of the $f(\alpha )$-spectra extend over the whole unit interval, $[0,1]$. 3) There exist marginal critical states.
