Abstract
In this work, a one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet with aperiodic exchange couplings is considered. To produce an aperiodic distribution of exchange couplings, it is used a sinusoidal function whose phase φ varies as a power-law, φ∝nν, where n labels the positions along the chain. By using exact diagonalization, the spin-wave participation number and the local density of states are computed. The numerical calculations indicate that for 0 1 all spin waves are localized except for the zero energy mode. By integrating the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, the temporal evolution of the mean-square displacement of the wave-packet was followed. Associated with the emergence of extended spin waves, it was observed that the wave-packet mean-square displacement displays a ballistic spread.
