Multifractality in aperiodic quantum spin chains

Recently, it has been investigated that the ground-state wavefunction of the one dimensional quantum spin-1/2 chain models is multifractal in general with non-trivial fractal dimension. We are studying this phenomena for the quantum Ising chain with aperiodic perturbation. By performing a block real...

Zusammenfassung:Recently, it has been investigated that the ground-state wavefunction of the one dimensional quantum spin-1/2 chain models is multifractal in general with non-trivial fractal dimension. We are studying this phenomena for the quantum Ising chain with aperiodic perturbation. By performing a block real-space renormalization approach, we obtain the ground-state wave function and we extract the generalized multifractal dimension and the multifractal spectrum. For a spin chain with negative wandering exponent the multifractal quantities have the same behavior with the unperturbed chain while for a spin chain with a vanishing wandering exponent, are dependent on the coupling ratio. Finally, for a spin chain with a positive wandering exponent, the multifractal quantities present a different non-linear behavior.
