Abstract

We study the time evolution of wavepackets of non-interacting electrons in a two-dimensional disordered system in strong magnetic field. For wavepackets built from states near the metal-insulator transition in the center of the lowest Landau band we find that the return probability to the origin p(t)p(t) decays algebraically, p(t)tD2/2p(t) \sim t^{-D_2/2}, with a non-conventional exponent D2/2D_2/2. D2D_2 is the generalized dimension describing the scaling of the second moment of the wavefunction. We show that the corresponding spectral measure is multifractal and that the exponent D2/2D_2/2 equals the generalized dimension D~2\widetilde{D}_2 of the spectral measure.
