Abstract

We numerically analyze spectral properties of the Fibonacci model which is a one-dimensional quasiperiodic system. We find that the energy levels of this model have the distribution of the band widths ww obeys PB(w)wαP_B(w)\sim w^{\alpha} (w0)(w\to 0) and PB(w)eβwP_B(w) \sim e^{-\beta w} (w)(w\to\infty), the gap distribution PG(s)sδP_G(s)\sim s^{-\delta} (s0)(s\to 0) (α,β,δ>0\alpha,\beta,\delta >0) . We also compare the results with those of multi-scale Cantor sets. We find qualitative differences between the spectra of the Fibonacci model and the multi-scale Cantor sets.
