Spectral properties of periodic systems cut at an angle

Abstract: We consider a semi-periodic two-dimensional Schrödinger operator which is cut at an angle. When the cut is commensurate with the periodic lattice, the spectrum of the operator has the band-gap Bloch structure. We prove that in the incommensurable case, there are no gaps: the gaps of the bulk operator are filled with edge spectrum.

“…where 𝑁 𝑘 , 𝑁 𝐸 , 𝐸 lim are specified for each simulation. In all figures, the dark areas correspond to the essential spectrum; see Figures 1,2,8,9,12,15,16,17. Outside the dark areas, in particular for (𝑘, 𝐸) ∈ 𝒦 (see (7.1)), we seek edge state curves by studying where (𝑘, 𝐸) ↦ log |Δ(𝑘, 𝐸)| takes on very large negative values. In Figure 12, we consider 4 different edges, three of zigzag-type and one of armchair-type, with numerical parameters and 𝑁 𝑘 = 𝑁 𝐸 = 1000 and specified values of 𝐸 lim .…”

“…(a) Are there states which are bounded and oscillatory parallel to an irrational edge and which decay into the bulk? Related to this question is the article [17], which demonstrates that the edge spectrum for a rationally terminated continuum periodic Schroedinger operator (with Dirichlet boundary conditions) has a band‐gap spectrum, while for an irrational termination the gaps are filled with “edge spectrum”. (b) Can one realize an edge state for irrational termination as the limit of a sequence of edge state wave‐packets (superpositions of edge states) of rationally terminated structures?…”
