Overview

• Led by Assistant Professor Biplab Pal, the team simulated electron behavior in fractal geometries under a uniform magnetic field.
• The system exhibits Aharonov–Bohm caging at half a flux quantum, localizing electrons within the fractal lattice.
• Analysis of the energy spectrum and electron transport supports the observed trapping behavior.
• Findings indicate amorphous, non-crystalline structures could be engineered for nanoelectronic quantum functions and future memory or logic elements.
• The peer-reviewed work, featured on the cover of Physica Status Solidi – Rapid Research Letters, is being framed as a contribution to India’s National Quantum Mission.
