Bulk localized transport states in infinite and finite quasicrystals via magnetic aperiodicity

D Johnstone, MJ Colbrook, AEB Nielsen, P Öhberg… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Robust edge transport can occur when charged particles in crystalline lattices interact with
an applied external magnetic field. Such systems have a spectrum composed of bands of …

Floquet Hofstadter butterfly on the kagome and triangular lattices

Algebraic area enumeration of random walks on the honeycomb lattice

L Gan, S Ouvry, AP Polychronakos - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We study the enumeration of closed walks of given length and algebraic area on the
honeycomb lattice. Using an irreducible operator realization of honeycomb lattice moves, we …

Interacting bosons on crystalline and quasiperiodic ladders in a magnetic field

D Johnstone, P Öhberg, CW Duncan - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
We study a variety of Hofstadter ladders in order to probe the interplay between interactions,
an applied magnetic field, and crystalline or quasiperiodic geometries. Motion will be …
