Chaos in the Classical Analogue of the Hofstadter Problem

Abstract

Description

The behaviour of an electron in a potential that resembles that of a bidimensional solid with a perpendicular magnetic field applied is studied from a classical point of view. This problem presents the standard features of chaos and some interesting new patterns. A new chaos indicator, called random walk indicator, is presented to describe som of these new patterns
