Spectral statistics, finite-size scaling and multifractal analysis of quasiperiodic chain with p-wave pairing (1603.09206v1)

Abstract: We study the spectral and wavefunction properties of a one-dimensional incommensurate system with p-wave pairing and unveil that the system demonstrates a series of particular properties in its ciritical region. By studying the spectral statistics, we show that the bandwidth distribution and level spacing distribution in the critical region follow inverse power laws, which however break down in the extended and localized regions. By performing a finite-size scaling analysis, we can obtain some critical exponents of the system and find these exponents fulfilling a hyperscaling law in the whole critical region. We also carry out a multifractal analysis on system's wavefuntions by using a box-counting method and unveil the wavefuntions displaying different behaviors in the critical, extended and localized regions.
