Analytical results for scaling properties of the spectrum of the Fibonacci chain.

TLDR
In this paper, the spectral properties of a tight-binding hamiltonian on the Fibonacci chain were characterized analytically as completely as possible, such as the spectral measure, the bandwidth distribution, the Lebesgue measure exponent, the Hausdorff dimension, the multifractal scaling, the gaps distribution as well as the long time return probability.
Abstract
We solve the approximate renormalisation group found by Qiu Niu and Franco Nori(Phys. Rev. Lett. 57 2057(1986)) for a tight-binding hamiltonian on the Fibonacci chain. This enables us to characterize analytically as completely as possible the spectral properties of this model, such as the spectral measure, the bandwidth distribution, the Lebesgue measure exponent, the Hausdorff dimension, the multifractal scaling, the gaps distribution as well as the long time return probability. Our results, qualitatively and quantitatively complete and unify previous works on similar models.

Fractal dimensions of wave functions and local spectral measures on the Fibonacci chain

The Fibonacci quasicrystal: Case study of hidden dimensions and multifractality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the multiple manifestations of multifractality in the Fibonacci chain, a 1D paradigm for quasicrystals, and discuss some important generalizations of the basic tight-binding models, and closely related models for other quasiperiodic systems.
