摘要
Absorption spectra of GaAs/GaAlAs Fibonacci superlattices (FSL) with magnetic fields parallel to the layers show self-similarity at field values scaled by tau-2 [tau = (1 + square-root 5)/2]. The one-dimensional nonperiodicity of the FSL affects the carrier motion perpendicular to the layers very differently from that parallel to the layers: In B parallel-to, where carriers have to cross several barriers to complete a cyclotron orbit, clear Landau levels are observed, whereas in B perpendicular-to the merging of the magnetic levels superimposed on the irregular eigenvalue spectrum of the FSL does not yield equally spaced spectra.
