Trace Maps

Trace maps for products of transfer matrices prove to be an important tool in the investigation of electronic spectra and wave functions of one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems. These systems belong to a general class of substitution sequences. In this work we review the various stages of development in constructing trace maps for products of (2×2) matrices generated by arbitrary substitution sequences. The dimension of the underlying space of the trace map obtained by means of this construction is the minimal possible, namely 3r-3 for an alphabet of size r≥2. In conclusion, we describe some results from the spectral theory of discrete Schrödinger operators with substitution potentials.

The interest in the precise nature of critical states and their role in the physics of aperiodic systems has witnessed a renewed interest in the last few years. In this work we present a review on the notion of critical wave functions and, in the light of the obtained results, we suggest the convenience of some conceptual revisions in order to properly describe the relationship between the transport properties and the wave functions distribution amplitudes for eigen functions belonging to singular continuous spectra related to both fractal and quasiperiodic distribution of atoms through the space.

We review the results of the scaling and multifractal analyses for the spectra and wave-functions of the finite-difference Schrödinger equation: [Formula: see text] Here V is a function of period 1 and ω is irrational. For the Fibonacci model, V takes only two values (it is constant except for discontinuities) and the spectrum is purely singular continuous (critical wavefunctions). When V is a smooth function, the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous (extended wavefunctions) for λ small and purely dense point (localized wavefunctions) for λ large. For an intermediate λ, the spectrum is a mixture of absolutely continuous parts and dense point parts which are separated by a finite number of mobility edges. There is no singular continuous part. (An exception is the Harper model V (x) = cos (2πx), where the spectrum is always pure and the singular continuous one appears at λ = 2.)

Chapter 7 illustrates the results obtained by applying the Schrödinger equation to a simple pedagogical quantum system, the particle in a one-dimensional box. The wave functions are seen to be sine waves; their wavelengths are evaluated and used to calculate the quantized energies via the de Broglie relation. An energy-level diagram of some of the energies is constructed; on it are illustrations of the corresponding wave functions and probability distributions. The wave functions are seen to be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the midpoint of the line representing the box, thereby providing a lead-in to the later exploration of certain symmetry properties of multi-electron atoms. It is next pointed out that the Schrödinger equation for this system is identical to Newton’s equation describing the vibrations of a stretched musical string. The different meaning of the two solutions is discussed, as is the concept and structure of linear superpositions of them.

The significant features of exchange symmetry are displayed by simple systems such as two identical, spinless fermions in a one-dimensional well with infinite walls. The conclusion is that the maxima of probability of the antisymmetrized wave function of these two fermions lie at the same positions as if a repulsive force (of unknown nature) was applied between these two fermions. This conclusion is combined with the solution of a mathematical problem dealing with the equilibrium of identical repulsive particles (of one or two kinds) on one or more spheres like neutrons and protons on nuclear shells. Such particles are at equilibrium only for specific numbers of particles and, in addition, if these particles lie on the vertices of regular polyhedra or their derivative polyhedra. Finally, this result leads to a pictorial representation of the structure of all closed shell nuclei. This representation could be used as a laboratory for determining nuclear properties and corresponding wave functions.

Nonparabolicity effects in two-dimensional electron systems are quantitatively analyzed. A formalism has been developed which allows to incorporate a nonparabolic bulk dispersion relation into the Schrödinger equation. As a consequence of nonparabolicity the wave functions depend on the in-plane momentum. Each subband is parametrized by its energy, effective mass and a subband nonparabolicity coefficient. The formalism is implemented in a one-dimensional Schrödinger-Poisson solver which is applicable both to silicon inversion layers and heterostructures.
