摘要： This paper studies quantum diffusion in semi-infinite one-dimensional periodic lattice and quasiperiodic Fibonacci lattice. It finds that the quantum diffusion in the semi-infinite periodic lattice shows the same properties as that for the infinite periodic lattice. Different behaviour is found for the semi-infinite Fibonacci lattice. In this case, there are still $C(t)\sim t^{ - \delta }$ and $d(t)\sim t^{\beta }$. However, it finds that $0 < \delta < 1$ for smaller time, and $\delta = 0$ for larger time due to the influence of surface localized states. Moreover, $\beta $ for the semi-infinite Fibonacci lattice is much smaller than that for the infinite Fibonacci lattice. Effects of disorder on the quantum diffusion are also discussed.
