| Popis: | The degree of localization of the Harper-Hofstadter model is shown to display striking periodic dependence on phase degrees of freedom, which can depend on the nature of the boundary condition, reminiscent of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. In the context of implementation in a finite ring-shaped lattice structure, this phase dependence can be utilized as a fundamentally different principle for precision sensing of rotation and magnetic fields based on localization rather than on interferometry. |
