Abstract

The family of primitive binary substitutions defined by 1001m1 \mapsto 0 \mapsto 0 1^m with mNm\in\mathbb{N} is investigated. The spectral type of the corresponding diffraction measure is analysed for its geometric realisation with prototiles (intervals) of natural length. Apart from the well-known Fibonacci inflation (m=1m=1), the inflation rules either have integer inflation factors, but non-constant length, or are of non-Pisot type. We show that all of them have singular diffraction, either of pure point type or essentially singular continuous.
