We investigate the interplay between the non-Hermitian skin effect and Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) quasiperiodic disorder in a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain with nonreciprocal hopping. By exact diagonalization,…

Subskin modes are distinct from conventional skin modes as they localize not at the system's edge but rather below the edge. Unlike skin modes, where a substantial number of them can accumulate at the boundaries of a system due to the…
