Critical quantum chaos and the one dimensional Harper model

arXiv:cond-mat/9902321 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.1643

Abstract

We study the quasiperiodic Harper's model in order to give further support for a possible universality of the critical spectral statistics. At the mobility edge we numerically obtain a scale-invariant distribution of the bands , which is closely described by a semi-Poisson curve. The tail appears when the mobility edge is approached from the metal while is asymptotically log-normal for the insulator. The multifractal critical density of states also leads to a sub-Poisson linear number variance .
