We focus on single-particle excitations produced in highly excited many-body eigenstates obtained through single-particle Green's function in real space. A finite-size scaling analysis of the ratio of the typical to average value of the local density of states of single particle excitations is performed assuming that the correlation length $\\xi$ diverges at the transition point with a power-law $\\xi \\sim |h-h_c|^{-\\nu}$. Both for the Aubry-Andre (AA) model and the generalized AA model, the finite size scaling of the local density of states obeys the single parameter scaling. A good quality scaling collapse is obtained for $\\nu \\ge 1$ which satisfies the generalized Luck's criterion for quasiperiodic systems. This analysis supports the continuous nature of the many-body localization transition in systems with AA and generalized AA potentials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-23T10:41:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single-particle excitations", "quasi-periodic systems", "study many-body localization transition", "local density", "deterministic quasi-periodic potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
