Abstract

We numerically study the single particle localization and delocalization phenomena of an initially localized wave packet in the kicked Harper model (KHM) and Harper model subjected to quasi-periodic perturbation composed of MM-modes. Both models are localized in the monochromatically perturbed case M=1M=1. KHM shows localization-delocalization transition (LDT) above M2M\geq2 as increase of the perturbation strength \eps\eps. In contrast, in a time-continuous Harper model with the perturbation, it is confirmed that the localization persists for M=2M=2 and the LDT occurs for M3M\geq 3. Furthermore, we investigate the diffusive property of the delocalized wave packet in the KHM and Harper model for \eps\eps above the critical strength \epsc\eps_c (\eps>\epsc\eps>\eps_c) comparing with other type systems without localization, which takes place a ballistic to diffusive transition in the wave packet dynamics as the increase of \eps\eps.
