摘要

We investigate the quantum dynamical behaviors of bosons in a diamond chain with weak magnetic flux (WMF), including Landau-Zener tunnelling, Bloch oscillations, localization phenomenon, and collapses-revivals phenomena. We observed that collapses-revivals phenomena can occur in diamond chain with WMF and cannot exist in the strong magnetic flux case as the previous study (Chang N N and Xue J K, 2018, Chin. Phys. B 27105203). Induced by WMF, the energy band for the system varies from gapless to gapped structure. The position of the extrema of probability amplitude for ground state can also be altered by WMF within a single diamond plaquette. As a consequence, the transitions between different dynamical behaviors of bosons in diamond chain can be manipulated by WMF, depending on its initial configurations.
