Abstract

Inspired by the recently discovered phenomenon of re-entrant localization (REL) [Roy et al., PRL 126, 106803 (2021)], we propose a new approach to induce REL, i.e., to control the quasiperiodic potential's phase-shift between odd and even sites, as thus the system can be dubbed as a phase-shift AAH model. We then analyze the participation ratios and corresponding scaling behaviors, and the results reveal that multiple re-entrant localization (MREL) phenomenon occurs. Furthermore, by depicting the behavior of extension dynamics, we obtain a whole visualized process of the system entering and re-entering the localized phase multiple times. Finally, we exhibit the distribution of quasiperiodic potential with phase-shift, and show the reason for the occurrence of MREL phenomenon, i.e., the introduction of phase-shift enables a part of eigenstates to escape from the localized phase, thus weakening the ''localizibility'' of the system.
