We study the many-body localization (MBL) transition in a generalized Aubry-Andre model (also known as the GPD model) introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 146601 (2015). In contrast to MBL in other disordered or quasiperiodic models, the…

Mobility edges commonly arise in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems once exact self-duality is broken, yet their origin is typically understood only at the level of individual Hamiltonians. Here we show that mobility edge positions are…
Mobility edge (ME), a critical energy separating localized and extended states in spectrum, is a central concept in understanding the localization physics. However, there are few models with exact MEs. In the paper, we generalize the…
