Absence of localization in a model with correlation measure as a random lattice

A coherent picture of localization in one-dimensional aperiodically ordered systems is still missing. We show the presence of purely singular continuous spectrum for a discrete system whose modulation sequence has a correlation measure which is absolutely continuous, such as for a random sequence. The system showing these properties is modeled by the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, whose correlation measure even has a uniform density. The absence of localization is also supported by a numerical investigation of the dynamics of electronic wave packets showing weakly anomalous diffusion and an extremely slow algebraic decay of the temporal autocorrelation function.
