Chaos-based potentials are defined and implemented in the one-dimensional tight-binding model as a way of simulating disorder-controlled crystalline lattices. In this setting, disorder is handled with the aid of the chaoticity parameter.…
We demonstrate that quasiperiodicity can radically change the ground state properties of 1D moir\'e systems with respect to their periodic counterparts. By studying an illustrative example we show that while narrow bands play a significant…

Disordered solids respond to quasistatic shear with intermittent avalanches of plastic activity, an example of the crackling noise observed in many nonequilibrium critical systems. The temporal power spectrum of activity within disordered…

Systems of soft-core particles interacting via a two-scale potential are studied. The potential is responsible for peaks in the structure factor of the liquid state at two different but comparable length scales, and a similar bimodal…
Random multifractals occur in particular at critical points of disordered systems. For Anderson localization transitions, Mirlin and Evers [PRB 62,7920 (2000)] have proposed the following scenario (a) the Inverse Participation Ratios…
We present a numerical study of the quasi-particle density of states (DoS) of two-dimensional d-wave superconductors in the presence of smooth disorder. We find power law scaling of the DoS with an exponent depending on the strength of the…
We study the scaling of the entanglement entropy in different classes of one-dimensional fermionic quasiperiodic systems with and without pairing, focusing on multifractal critical points/phases. We find that the entanglement entropy scales…

We use QMC simulations to study effects of disorder on the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model with exchange constant $J$ on the square lattice supplemented by multispin interactions $Q$. It was found recently [L. Lu et al., Phys. Rev. X 8, 041040…
Impurity scattering is found to lead to quasi-one dimensional nanoscale modulation of the local density of states in the iron pnictides and chalcogenides. This `quasiparticle interference' feature is remarkably similar across a wide variety…
We consider disordered pinning models, when the return time distribution of the underlying renewal process has a polynomial tail with exponent $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$. This corresponds to a regime where disorder is known to be relevant, i.e.…
