| contents | In the previous work, the concept of critical region in a generalized Aubry-André model (Ganeshan-Pixley-Das Sarma's model) has been set up. In this work we propose that the critical region can be realized in a one-dimensional flat band lattice system with a quasi-periodic potential. It is found that the above flat band lattice model can be reduced into an effective Ganeshan-Pixley-Das Sarma's model where the effective parameter $α=V_0/(2E)$ with potential strength $V_0$ and eigenenergy $E$. It is shown that there are very rich physics in this model. Depending on $|α|<1$ or $|α|\geq1$, the effective quasi-periodic potential would be bounded or unbounded. For these two cases, the Lyapunov exponent [$γ(E)$], mobility edges ($E_c$) and critical indices ($ν$) of localized length are obtained exactly. In addition, several localized state regions, extended state regions and critical regions would appear in the parameter $V_0-E$ plane. For a given potential strength $V_0$, the localized-extended and localized-critical transitions can co-exist. Furthermore, we find the critical index of localized length $ξ(E)=1/γ(E)$ is $ν=1$ near localized-extended transitions and $ν=1/2$ near the localized-critical transitions. Near the transition point between the bound ($|α|<1$) and unbounded ($|α|\geq1$) cases, i.e, $|α|=|V_0/(2E)|= 1$, the derivative of Lypunov exponent of localized states with respect to energy is discontinuous. The localized states in bounded and unbounded cases can be distinguished from each other by Avila's acceleration. At the end, we find that near the transition point, there also exist critical-extended transitions in the phase diagram. |
