• Abstract: Non-Hermitian effects could create rich dynamical and topological phase structures. In this work, we show that the collaboration between lattice dimerization and non-Hermiticity could generally bring about mobility edges and multiple localization transitions in one-dimensional quasicrystals. Non-Hermitian extensions of the Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) model with staggered onsite potential and dimerized hopping amplitudes are introduced to demonstrate our results. Reentrant localization transitions due to the interplay between quasiperiodic gain/loss and lattice dimerization are found. Quantized winding numbers are further adopted as topological invariants to characterize transitions among phases with distinct spectrum and transport nature. Our study thus enriches the family of non-Hermitian quasicrystals by incorporating effects of lattice dimerization, and offering a convenient way to modulate localization transitions and mobility edges in non-Hermitian systems.

We propose a non-Hermitian extension of the Maryland model, which forms a paradigm in the study of localization and quantum chaos.
