Abstract

We consider the scaling properties characterizing the hyperuniformity (or anti-hyperuniformity) of long wavelength fluctuations in a broad class of one-dimensional substitution tilings. We present a simple argument that predicts the exponent α\alpha governing the scaling of Fourier intensities at small wavenumbers, tilings with α>0\alpha>0 being hyperuniform, and confirm with numerical computations that the predictions are accurate for quasiperiodic tilings, tilings with singular continuous spectra, and limit-periodic tilings. Tilings with quasiperiodic or singular continuous spectra can be constructed with α\alpha arbitrarily close to any given value between 1-1 and 33. Limit-periodic tilings can be constructed with α\alpha between 1-1 and 11 or with Fourier intensities that approach zero faster than any power law.
