We study the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian and prove upper and lower bounds for its fractal dimension in the large coupling regime. These bounds show that as $\lambda \to \infty$, $\dim (\sigma(H_\lambda)) \cdot \log \lambda$…

The tight-binding model for a chain, where the hopping constants follow a Fibonacci sequence, predicts multifractality in the spectrum and wavefunctions. Experimentally, we realize this model by chains of small dielectric resonators with…

We prove H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the Fibonacci Hamiltonian for any positive coupling, and obtain the asymptotics of the H\"older exponents for large and small couplings.
For the square tridiagonal Fibonacci Hamiltonian, we prove existence of an open set of parameters which yield mixed interval-Cantor spectra (i.e. spectra containing an interval as well as a Cantor set), as well as mixed density of states…
We present a detailed study of the dynamics of electronic wavepackets in Fibonacci semiconductor superlattices, both in flat band conditions and subject to homogeneous electric fields perpendicular to the layers. Coherent propagation of…
