Abstract

We have numerically investigated localization properties in the one-dimensional tight-binding model with chaotic binary on-site energy sequences generated by a modified Bernoulli map with the stationary-nonstationary chaotic transition (SNCT). The energy sequences in question might be characterized by their correlation parameter BB and the potential strength WW. The quantum states resulting from such sequences have been characterized in the two ways: Lyapunov exponent at band centre and the dynamics of the initially localized wavepacket. Specifically, the BB-dependence of the relevant Lyapunov exponent's decay is changing from linear to exponential one around the SNCT (B2B \simeq 2). Moreover, here we show that even in the nonstationary regime, mean square displacement (MSD) of the wavepacket is noticeably suppressed in the long-time limit (dynamical localization). The BB-dependence of the dynamical localization lengths determined by the MSD exhibits a clear change in the functional behaviour around SNCT, and its rapid increase gets much more moderate one for B2B \geq 2. Moreover we show that the localization dynamics for B>3/2B>3/2 deviates from the one-parameter scaling of the localization in the transient region.
